A method is described for the rapid and simple isolation of genomic DNA from 3 ml culture of Bifidobacterium. The method is expected to be used in gene manipulation of Bifidobacterium spp. The isolated DNA using this method is shown to be an excellent substrate for restriction endonuclease digestion and ligation with T4 DNA ligase.

본 연구에서는 다양한 식품으로부터 식중독 세균의 DNA를 추출하는 효율을 비교 하였다. 사용된 DNA 추출 방법은 TaKaRa Kit를 이용하는 방법, PrepMan reagent를 이용하는 방법, boiling method, PEG를 이용한 alkaline method가 사용되었다. 비용절감이나 시간절약 면에서 boiling method나 PrepMan method도 고려할 수 있지만, column kit를 이용하는 TaKaRa kit가 효율적이라고 판단되었다. 또한 정성 시험법에서 적은 양의 균을 검출하기 위해 증균배양을 거치게 되는데 이때 사용되는 증균배지의 성분이 DNA 추출 후에도 잔류하여 saline과 비교하였을 때 DNA 추출효율이 낮은 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서 증균배지의 성분을 제거한 뒤 DNA를 추출하는 것이 PCR의 효율을 높일 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 정량 시험법에서는 증균과정을 거치지 않아 균을 검출할 때 DNA의 추출 효율이 중요하기 때문에 DNA 추출 효율을 높이기 위한 가장 좋은 버퍼를 선정하고자 하였다. 그 결과 E. coli O157:H7에서는 saline이, S. aureus에서는 증류수를 버퍼로 사용했을 때 DNA 추출 효율이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The isolation of genomic DNA from mammalian cells is usually performed by cell lysis followed by protein digestion, extraction, and finally, ethanol precipitation of the chromosomal DNA. However, in the case of large sample numbers or when only small amounts of starting materials are available, such conventional methods are not efficient and are cumbersome to be applied. Some alternative methods have been described as well as having commercial DNA isolation kits to be available, nevertheless, there is room left for much improvement. In the present study, a novel method is introduced, where it simplifies conventional protocols by omitting some time-consuming steps such as protease incubation or DNA precipitation and its resuspension. Using paramagnetic silica resins, the genomic DNA was purified over a magnetic field, and the bound DNA was eluted with a low-salt buffer. The fidelity and effectiveness of this novel method was determined by using normal and apoptotic cells as a starting material and then compared to other protocols. The high speed and convenience along with its high efficiency in detecting apoptotic chromosomal DNA will prove this method to be an improved alternative in the isolation of genomic DNA from mammalian cells.

In Korean ginseng, Panax ginseng C.A Meyer, it was difficult to isolate chloroplast DNA with classical methods, because of the high polysaccharide content of ginseng chloroplast The simple and efficient method of chloroplast DNA isolation from ginseng leaves has been developed by motificalion of recently advanced methods. Also, it can be successfully applied to ctDNA isolation of Chinese cabbage, radish, petunia tobacco as well as ginseng. Isolated chloroplast DNA from ginseng was digested with various restriction endonucleases. It was estimated that the molecular weight of Korean ginseng chloroplast DNA was about 142 kb. There was no difference in restriction endonuclease digestion patterns between two variants of Korean ginseng, which are Jakyung-Jong (violet-stem variant) and Hwang- sook-Jong (yellow-berry variant).

As an attempt to preserve resources in marine biological organisms, we first constructed a cDNA library from the red alga Porphyra yezoensis. The library construction method from P. yezoensis consists of three steps; those include protoplast presparation, RNA isolation, and phage library construction. Protoplast was prepared in order to remove much of the carbohydrate compounds which are characteristics of algal cell walls. Carbohydrate contamination in the purified RNA may inhibit further enzyme reactions, those carbohydrates should be removed. RNA samples prepared from protoplast still seemed to contain residual amount of carbohydrate because mRNA isolation with conventional method failed. We therefore developed a method with Poly ATtract mRNA isolation system. The constructed phage library was tested by analyzing cDNA insert in phage vector from randomly picked ten independent white plagues. All of the phages contained cDNA inserts with sizes ranging 0.5kb and 2.0kb.

Although there are several methods for the preparation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from mammalian tissues, most are relatively long ultracentrifugation or manipulations by a small-scale method. We escribed a rapid method for large-scale extraction of mtDNA from human placental and horse liver tissues. The method is based on the preparation and homogenization of tissues, urification of crude mitochondria by differential centrifugations and isolation of mtDNA by alkaline Iysis. It was improved from Pre-existing methods by replacing some steps with simpler ones and discarding many others. This method gives a high yield of pure mtDNA(approximately 1-5mg from one placenta; ca. 400-600 g wet weight), depending on its sources (fresh tissue gave better results than frozen one). The resulting mtDNA indicated that this method can yield mtDNA in sufficient purity and quantity to identify the direct restriction analysis on agarose gel, random-primed labeling as a probe, and end labeling. Therefore, the method is ideal for obtaining good mtDNA samples to conduct routine restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses of natural populations for genetic studies.

To develop a simplified method that can rapidly prepare DNA microarray probes in a massive scale, a lambda phage genomic DNA-fragments library was constructed for the microarray-probes collection. Four methods of DNA band recovery from the first PCR products were tested and compared. The DNA microarray probes were collected by a novel method of nested PCR that was mediated by gel isolation of the first PCR products. This method was named GIN-PCR. The probes that were prepared by this GIN-PCR technique were used as subjects to fabricate a DNA microarray. The results showed that a wooden toothpick was superior to the other 3 methods, since this technique can steadily transfer the DNA bands as the template of the second PCR after the first PCR. A group of probes were successfully collected and DNA microarrays were constructed using these probes. Hybridization results demonstrated that this technique of DNA recovery and probe preparation was rapid, efficient, and effective. We developed a cost-effective and less labor-intensive method for DNA microarray probe preparation by nested PCR that is mediated by wooden toothpick transfer of the DNA bands in the gel after electrophoresis.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-depleted (${\rho}^0$) cells are often used as mtDNA recipients to study the interaction between the nucleus and mitochondria in mammalian cells. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain mtDNA-depleted cells with many different nuclear backgrounds for the study. Here, we demonstrate a rapid and reliable method to isolate mammalian mtDNA-depleted cells involving treatment with the antimitochondrial agents ethidium bromide (EtBr) and 2',3'-dideoxycytidine (ddC). After a short exposure to EtBr or ddC, followed by rapid clonal isolation, we were able to generate viable mtDNA-depleted cells from mouse and human cells and were able to successfully repopulate them with exogenous mitochondria from platelets isolated from mouse and human blood samples. These mtDNA-depleted cells can be used to characterize the nuclear mitochondrial interactions and to study mtDNA-associated defects in mammalian cells. Our method of isolating mtDNA-depleted cells is practical and applicable to a variety of cell types.

Molecular techniques have been introduced for malaria diagnosis because they offer greater sensitivity and specificity than microscopic examinations. Therefore, DNA isolation methods have been developed for easy preparation and cost effectiveness. The present study described a simple protocol for Plasmodium DNA isolation from EDTA-whole blood. This study demonstrated that after heating infected blood samples with Tris-EDTA buffer and proteinase K solution, without isolation and purification steps, the supernatant can be used as a DNA template for amplification by PCR. The sensitivity of the extracted DNA of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax was separately analyzed by both PCR and semi-nested PCR (Sn-PCR). The results revealed that for PCR the limit of detection was $40parasites/{\mu}l$ for P. falciparum and $35.2parasites/{\mu}l$ for P. vivax, whereas for Sn-PCR the limit of detection was $1.6parasites/{\mu}l$ for P. falciparum and $1.4parasites/{\mu}l$ for P. vivax. This new method was then verified by DNA extraction of whole blood from 11 asymptomatic Myanmar migrant workers and analyzed by Sn-PCR. The results revealed that DNA can be extracted from all samples, and there were 2 positive samples for Plasmodium (P. falciparum and P. vivax). Therefore, the protocol can be an alternative method for DNA extraction in laboratories with limited resources and a lack of trained technicians for malaria diagnosis. In addition, this protocol can be applied for subclinical cases, and this will be helpful for epidemiology and control.
