Abstract

Most methods of DNA preparation from fungi are time-consuming due to the need to first make protoplasts, expensive for chemicals such as cesium chloride, or suitable only for small scale preparations. We have developed a simple method for total DNA preparation, yielding a product of quality suitable for restriction digestion and library construction.
