The optimized buffer system enables the DNA in the lysate to be efficiently and specifically bound to the silica matrix centrifugal adsorption column, while other contaminants can flow through the membrane, and the inhibitors of PCR and other enzymatic reactions can be effectively removed through a two-step washing step, and finally washed off with low-salt buffer or water, so that high-purity DNA can be obtained.The purified DNA can be used for downstream experiments such as digestion, PCR, Real-Time PCR, library construction, Southern Blot and molecular labeling, molecular labeling and other downstream experiments. Self-contained reagents: anhydrous ethanol; Enzymatic Lysis Buffer is required for extraction of Gram-positive bacteria.Enzymatic Lysis Buffer was prepared by 20 mM Tris, pH 8.0; 2 mM Na2-EDTA, pH 8.0; and 1.2% Triton X-100. 121°C sterilization for 20 minutes, and the appropriate amount of Lysozyme was added at a final concentration of 20 mg/ml. Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. Add 1.25ml Proteinase K Storage Buffer to Proteinase K to dissolve it and store it at -20℃. Do not leave the prepared Proteinase K at room temperature for a long time, and avoid repeated freezing and thawing to avoid affecting its activity.2. Repeated freezing and thawing of the sample should be avoided, as this may result in smaller DNA fragments and a decrease in the amount of extracted DNA.3. If extracting genomes from bacterial cultures with high accumulation of secondary metabolites or thick cell walls, it is recommended that samples be collected early in the logarithmic phase.4. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use.5. Before use, please check Buffer GTL and Buffer GL for crystallization or precipitation. If crystallization or precipitation occurs, please re-dissolve Buffer GL and Buffer GTL in a 56℃ water bath.6. If the downstream experiments are sensitive to RNA contamination, 4µl of DNase-Free RNase A (100mg/ml) can be added before adding Buffer GL. RNase A is not provided in this kit.If the extracted samples are Gram-positive bacteria, customers need to prepare their own Enzymatic Lysis Buffer to treat the bacteria, which requires the use of Lysozyme (lysozyme) at a concentration of 20 mg/ml, which is not provided in this kit.Procedurei Extraction of genomic DNA from Gram-negative bacteria1. Take 1-5 ml of bacterial culture (106-108 cells, maximum 2×109 cells) and put it into a centrifuge tube (provided), centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm (~13,400×g) for 1 minute, and aspirate the supernatant as much as possible.2. Add 180 µl Buffer GTL to the precipitate and shake to resuspend the bacteria.3. Add 20 µl of Proteinase K, vortex and mix well, incubate at 56°C until the solution becomes clear, and invert or shake the centrifuge tube at intervals during the incubation to disperse the sample.Note: If RNA removal is required, add 4 µl of RNase A solution at a concentration of 100 mg/ml after the above steps are completed, shake to mix, and leave for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.4. Add 200µl Buffer GL and mix well with vortexing and shaking. Add 200µl of anhydrous ethanol and mix well with vortexing and shaking.Centrifuge briefly so that the solution on the walls of the tube collects at the bottom.Note: 1) If multiple samples are manipulated together, Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol can be mixed in equal proportions and then added together, shaking to mix.2) The addition of Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol may produce a white precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.5. Add all of the solution obtained in step 4 (including the precipitate formed) to the Spin Columns DM in the collection tube, or if the solution cannot be added all at once, transfer it several times. centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste solution, and return the column to the collection tube.6.

The pH of the elution solution has a great influence on the elution efficiency. If water is used as the elution solution it should be ensured that its pH is 7.0-8.5 (the pH of water can be adjusted to this range with NaOH), and the elution efficiency is not high when the pH is lower than 7.0.2) Incubation at room temperature for 5 minutes prior to centrifugation increases yield.3) Re-elution with an additional 50-200 µl Buffer GE or sterilized water can increase the yield.4) If the final concentration of DNA is to be increased, the DNA eluate obtained in step 9 can be re-spiked onto the adsorbent membrane and step 9 repeated; if the elution volume is less than 200 µl, the final concentration of DNA can be increased, but the total yield may be reduced. If the amount of DNA is less than 1 µg, elution with 50 µl Buffer GE or sterilized water is recommended.(5) DNA stored in water will be affected by acidic hydrolysis. For long-term storage, it is recommended to elute with Buffer GE and store at -20℃.i. Extraction of genomic DNA from Gram-positive bacteria1.

Please prepare 50 ml of fixed solution (ultrapure water: ethanol: acetic acid=6:3:1), 50 ml of eluent (10% ethanol), and 50 ml of termination solution (5% acetic acid) in advance.2. Please use deionized water and clean glass or plastic containers during operation, and wear disposable gloves for operation.The entire silver dyeing process needs to be carried out on a shaker, with a rotation speed of about 60 rpm.4. Self prepared ethanol and glacial acetic acid are required.Instructions for useThe dosage of each solution in the following operation steps takes the gel with a size of 8.5 × 5.5 cm and a thickness of 1.0 mm as an example. The gel is immersed in the solution completely, and is operated on a shaker, with a general dosage of 25 ml. For large gel, the dosage of each solution should be scaled up according to the gel volume. Please prepare 50 ml of fixed solution (ultrapure water: ethanol: glacial acetic acid=6:3:1), 50 ml of eluent (10% ethanol), and 50 ml of termination solution (5% glacial acetic acid) in advance.1. Water washing: After electrophoresis is completed, wash the gel twice with ultrapure water for 5 minutes each time.2. Fixation: Fix the gel twice with 25 ml of fixative solution for 15 minutes each time.3. Elution: Wash the adhesive twice with eluent, each time for 5 minutes.4. Water washing: Wash the glue twice with ultrapure water, each time for 5 minutes.5. Sensitization: put the gel washed in the previous step into the silver dye sensitization working solution, incubate it accurately for 1 minute at room temperature, and then wash it with ultrapure water for three times, each time for 20 seconds. Preparation of silver staining sensitization working solution: Take 50 µ l Silver Stain Sensitivity (500 x) and add it to 25 ml of ultrapure water, mix well.6. Silver staining: discard ultrapure water and incubate gel in silver staining working solution for 30 minutes. Preparation of silver staining working solution: Take 25ml Silver Stain and add 50 µ l Silver Stain Enhanced to mix well.7. Water washing: Quickly wash the glue twice with ultrapure water, with each washing accurately controlled for 20 seconds.8. Development: Immerse the washed gel in the developer immediately and incubate it at room temperature for 2-3 minutes until the protein strip is clear. Preparation of developer: Take 25ml Silver Stain Developer and add 30 µ l Silver Stain Enhanced to mix well. Attention: Within 30 seconds of development, protein bands begin to appear and continue to develop for 2-3 minutes. If the protein band appears lighter, the development time can be appropriately extended to 5 minutes or more.9. Termination: After washing the developer on the gel with the termination solution, soak the gel in a new termination solution to react for 10 minutes.Experimental imagesSilver staining results of BSA protein samples after 10% SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresisThe molecular weight of BSA protein is about 66 kD, and the loading amounts from left to right are 50 ng, 10 ng, and 5 ng, respectively...
