Omega Biotek E.Z.N.A.® Fungal DNA Mini Kit allows for the rapid and reliable isolation of high-quality total cellular DNA from a wide variety of fungal species and tissues. Up to 200 mg of wet tissue (or up to 50 mg dry tissue) can be processed in less than 1 hour. The system combines the reversible nucleic acid-binding properties of Omega’s HiBind® matrix with the speed and versatility of spin columns to eliminate polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and enzyme inhibitors from fungal tissue lysates. Purified DNA is suitable for PCR, restriction digestion, and hybridization applications. There are no organic extractions, thus reducing plastic waste and hands-on time to allow multiple samples to be processed in parallel.

Total cellular DNA purified using the E.Z.N.A.® Fungal DNA Kit. Purified DNA from various fungal samples was isolated with the E.Z.N.A.® Fungal DNA Kit. DNA was extracted from 100 mg samples from each of the following fungi: lane 1 from Ganoderma lucidum, lane 2 from Cordyceps sinensis, lane 3 from Agaricus campestris, and lane 4 from Russula foetens. Total cellular DNA (10% of total purified DNA) was analyzed on a 0.8% agarose gel to demonstrate yield and quality of the DNA. M: Lambda Hind III DNA Marker.
