Journal Article

Description:

Following air sampling, fungal DNA needs to be extracted and purified to a state suitable for laboratory use. Our laboratory has developed a simple method of extraction and purification of fungal DNA appropriate for enzymatic manipulation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applications. The methodology described is both rapid and cost effective for use with multiple fungal organisms
