Template preparation for rapid PCR in Colletotrichum lindemuthianum

Isolation of DNA for PCR is time-consuming and involves many reagents. The aim of this work was to optimise a rapid and easy PCR methodology without previous DNA isolation.

Description
Summary:Isolation of DNA for PCR is time-consuming and involves many reagents. The aim of this work was to optimise a rapid and easy PCR methodology without previous DNA isolation. Different strains of the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum were used. Protoplasts were generated using lytic enzymes under high incubation temperatures using different methodologies to obtain the template. A rapid (10 minute) methodology was successful for smaller amplicons (<750 bp). A extração de DNA para realização de PCR é demorada e envolve vários reagentes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver uma metodologia rápida e fácil que permita utilizar a técnica de PCR sem necessidade de extração de DNA. Diferentes isolados de Colletotrichum lindemuthianum foram utilizados. Para obtenção do DNA moldes foram testados protoplastos obtidos através do uso de enzimas líticas, incubados sob altas temperaturas e diferentes metodologias. Uma metodologia rápida (10 minutos) foi desenvolvida para produtos de PCR menores (<750 pb).
