ABSTRACT |
We describe more simple, inexpensive and rapid method for isolation of total DNA from free-living conchocelis of some Porphyras than the previous methods requiring quantities of fresh tissue and lots of time, labor and cost. The method yields sufficient quantities of good-quality ANA from a small amount of conchocelis tissue without liquid nitrogen treatments, hexadecyltrimetylammonium bromide (CTAB) treatments and phenol extraction.
