- 1 mL 0.5 M MOPS
- 150 μL 10% Triton X-100

Procedure
NOTE: Do NOT use pipetting for resuspension—it can cause shearing of the genomic DNA.
Lysis
- Prepare all buffers and stock solutions beforehand and label all tubes
- All buffers (except the Binding Buffer and the 70% ethanol) should be equilibrated to room temperature
- Pre-warm the Binding Buffer to 50°C to increase yields
- 70% ethanol should be cold (4°C)
- Grow S. meliloti cultures in 4-mL LB overnight to saturation
- Centrifuge two 1.5-mL aliquots of each culture at 13,200 rpm for 2 min. in 1.7-mL Eppendorf tubes
- Discard supernatant
- Thoroughly resuspend each pellet in 1 mL LB
- Centrifuge at 13,200 rpm for 2 minutes
- Discard supernatant
- Resuspend each pellet in 735 μL T10E1
- Add 39 μL 10% SDS to each tube
- Invert several times
- Immediately add 5 μL Proteinase K to each tube
- Vortex 5 seconds
- Incubate on the rotator at 37°C for 60 minutes
- Optional: Remove 300 μL and save for an analytical gel (test aliquot 1 = nuclear lysate)
CTAB
- Aliquot 700 μL samples into 1.7-mL Eppendorf tubes
- Add 125 μL 5 M NaCl
- Add 100 μL 10% CTAB
- Make sure the CTAB hasn't crashed out of solution; if it has alternate vortexing and 10-minute incubations in the 60°C water bath until it is dissolved
- Incubate at 50°C for 30 minutes
- Add 700 μL chloroform
- Vortex 10 seconds
- Centrifuge for 10 minutes at maximum speed
- Remove 500 μL of the aqueous layer (top layer) to a new tube
- Do this slowly so that you don't suck up the debris at the interface
- Recombine your samples, but be sure not to mix them up!
- Add 100 μL chloroform
- Vortex 10 seconds
- Centrifuge for 30 minutes at maximum speed
- Remove 1 mL of the the aqueous layer (top layer) to a new tube
- Do this slowly so that you don't suck up the debris at the interface
- Add 700 μL isopropanol
- Incubate for 30 minutes at –20°C
- Centrifuge at maximum speed for 15 minutes at 4°C
- Discard supernatant
- Add 1 mL cold 70% ethanol
- Vortex 10 seconds
- Centrifuge at maximum speed for 15 minutes at 4°C
- Discard supernatant
- Air dry for 10 minutes
- Resuspend the DNA pellet in 100 μL TE buffer
- Drizzle the TE buffer twice down the back of the tube
- The final concentration should be at least 5 ng in no more than 100 μL
- Dissolve the DNA on a shaker for at least two hours (preferably overnight) at room temperature at 250 rpm
- Remove 8 μL and save for an analytical gel (test aliquot 2 = CTAB purification)
Genomic DNA Isolation
- Suspend a QIAGEN Genomic-tip 20/G over a culture tube using a yellow tip holder
- Equilibrate the tip with 2 mL Buffer QBT and allow it to empty by gravity flow
- To the sample(s) from the lysis procedure add 800 μL Buffer B1
- Add 350 μL Buffer B2
- Vortex for 10 seconds
- Add each sample to a tip and allow it to enter the resin by gravity flow
- You may have to apply positive pressure with a syringe (4–10 drops/minute)
- Remove 300 μL and save for an analytical gel (test aliquot 3 = flow-through fraction)
- Move the tip and tip holder to a new culture tube
- Wash three times with 1 mL of Buffer QC and allow it to move through by gravity flow
- You may have to apply positive pressure with a syringe (4–10 drops/minute)
- Remove 1200 μL and save for an analytical gel (test aliquot 4 = wash fraction)
- Move the tip and tip holder to a new culture tube
- Elute twice with 1 mL of 50°C Buffer QF and allow it to move through by gravity flow
- You may have to apply positive pressure with a syringe (4–10 drops/minute)
- Precipitate the DNA with 7 volumes of isopropanol
- At this point and on, you should include your test aliquots
- Vortex 10 seconds
- Centrifuge at maximum speed for at least 15 minutes at 4°C
- Carefully discard the supernatant
- Wash with 1 mL cold 70% ethanol
- Vortex 10 seconds
- Centrifuge at maximum speed for 10 minutes at 4°C
- Carefully discard the supernatant
- Air dry for 10 minutes
- Resuspend the DNA pellet in 50 μL of TE buffer
- Drizzle the TE buffer twice down the back of the tube
- The final concentration should be at least 5 ng in no more than 100 μL
- Dissolve the DNA on a shaker for at least two hours (preferably overnight) at room temperature at 250 rpm
- Analyze by gel electrophoresis on a 1% gel for 30 minutes at 120 V
- For test aliquots, add 2 μL 8X DNA loading dye to 2 μL DNA and load 4 μL
- For final DNA samples, perform a dilution series using 6 μL 8X DNA loading dye to 3 μL DNA (or 3 μL of the previous dilution) and load 4 μL
