HiPure 토양 DNA 키트

Overview of Soil Microorganisms:

1. Microbial Diversity: Soil samples contain a vast number of microorganisms, most of which cannot be directly cultivated for research.
2. Importance of DNA Extraction: Extracting DNA is a crucial method for studying these microorganisms in soil samples.

DNA Extraction Methods:

1. Direct Method:
   • Process: Involves placing soil samples directly into a lysis solution and using mechanical or chemical methods to break cell walls, thereby releasing microbial DNA into the solution.
   • Techniques: Includes wall-breaking methods for effective lysis; 예를 들어, Zhou’s method.
   • 장점: Maximizes the likelihood of obtaining the entire genomic content (metagenome) of soil microorganisms.
2. Indirect Method:
   • Process: Begins with suspending soil in a buffer solution (예를 들어, Buffer PBS) to separate microorganisms from soil particles before DNA extraction.
   • 장점: Reduces the impact of inhibitors like humic acids and heavy metal salts on the DNA extraction process.
   • 단점: May result in the loss of many microorganisms during separation, and typically does not recover the complete metagenome.

Challenges and Considerations:

• Direct Method Challenges: Although it increases the chances of obtaining complete genomes, this method can be compromised by the presence of inhibitors such as humic substances and heavy metals in the soil.
• Indirect Method Limitations: Fewer researchers use this method due to its potential to lose microbial diversity and completeness of the genomic extraction.

1. Humic acid pollution.The soil, especially in forests and grasslands, is rich in humic acids. Humic acid is a series of organic molecules, some of which are very similar to nucleic acid molecules and difficult to remove during purification. Trace amounts of humic acid pollution can lead to downstream applications such as PCR and enzyme digestion failure.
2. Lysis method.Soil samples contain various microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. Gram positive bacteria and fungi both contain very thick bacterial walls, and effectively breaking down the cell walls of these microorganisms is crucial for extracting high-yield metagenomic DNA. Due to the complexity of soil samples, it is not feasible to use enzymatic methods (such as lysozyme, wall breaking enzyme, snail enzyme) or liquid nitrogen grinding, as the soil contains various metalions or inhibitory factors that inactive the digestive enzymes, or the presence of sand particles in the soil makes liquid nitrogen grinding difficult.
3. The DNA yield is difficult to control.Soil samples would have significant changes in the number and variety of microorganisms due to fertility, inferiority, high moisture content, dryness, or depth of sampling. In a small range of soil samples, the DNA content often varies by thousands of times. 게다가, certain chemical components in soil, such as heavy metal salts and clay substances, can cause a decrease in DNA yield.
