摘要
Extracting DNA from a variety of algae is rather difficult because of high levels of polysaccharides, tannins, and phenolics as these interfere with DNA isolation and downstream applications. High-quality plastid DNA (ptDNA) purification is particularly difficult because of its small proportion in total genomic DNA. This report describes an improved protocol for ptDNA purification that efficiently produces high-quality ptDNA from sporophytes of Laminaria japonica and several other algae. This improved protocol simplifies procedures for ptDNA purification and improves yield to 150-200 mu g of ptDNA per 100 g of frozen algal tissue. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of conserved sequences has been used to verify purity of the ptDNA product.
