INTRODUCTION
Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms having DNAwithout any membrane bounded nucleus ,their DNAis circular and present in cytoplasm .This DNA iscalled Genomic DNA
Genomic DNA will often be required as a source ofmaterial from which to obtain genes to be cloned.
Genomic DNA may be obtain from a culture ofbacteria , from a plant, from animal cells.

PROCEDURE
The procedure for genomic DNA preparation from aculture of bacterial cells can be divided into fourstages(Figure 1):
1. Growing and harvesting a bacterial culture
2. Preparation of a cell extract
3. Purification of DNA from a cell extract
4. Concentration of DNA samples

STEPS1.Growing and harvesting a bacterial culture
Culture medium must provide a balanced mixture of theessential nutrients at concentrations that will allow thebacteria to grow and divide efficiently
Two type of liquid mediums used for growing
M9 mediumdefined medium in which all the components are known.It provide essential elements such as nitrogen, magnesium,and calcium, as well as glucose to supply carbon andenergy.Have growth factors such as trace elements and vitamins.The bacterial culture has to be grown under preciselycontrolled conditions.
8
Luria-Bertani (LB) mediumUndefined medium, meaning that the preciseidentity and quantity of its components are notknown.
Contain tryptone and yeast extract, are complicatedmixtures of unknown chemical compounds.
Tryptone supplies amino acids and small peptides.
Yeast extract (a dried preparation of partially digestedyeast cells) provides the nitrogen requirements, alongwith sugars and inorganic and organic nutrients.
LB need no further supplementation and support thegrowth of a wide range of bacterial species.

Harvesting a bacterial culturePerformed by spinning the culture in a centrifuge
Fairly low centrifugation speeds will pellet the bacteriaat the bottom
Bacteria from a 1000 ml re suspended into a volume of
10 ml or less.

2.Preparation of a cell extractThe bacterial cell is enclosed in a cytoplasmicmembrane and surrounded by a rigid cell wall
cell lysis is brought about by exposure to chemicalagents
involves one agent attacking the cell wall and anotherdisrupting the cell membrane
brought about by lysozyme, ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), or a combination of both.
Lysozyme is present in egg white and in secretionssuch as tears and saliva, and which digests thepolymeric compounds that give the cell wall itsrigidity.
12
EDTA (Ethylene Diamine tetra accetic acid)a chelatingagent removes magnesium ions that are essential forpreserving the overall structure of the cell envelope,and also inhibits cellular enzymes that could degradeDNA.
Detergent such as sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) isalso added it aid the process of lysis by removing lipidmolecules and thereby cause disruption of the cellmembranes
13
the final step in preparation of a cell extract is removalof insoluble cell debris
cell extract can be pelleted by centrifugation leavingthe cell extract as a reasonably clear supernatant.

3.Purification of DNA from a cell extract
In addition to DNA, a bacterial cell extract containssignificant quantities of protein and RNA and shouldbe removed
Two methods are used for removing protein and RNA
Removing contaminants by organicextraction and enzyme digestion
to deproteinize a cell extract is to add phenol or a 1 : 1mixture of phenol and chloroform
15
The layers then separated by centrifugation,precipitated protein molecules are left as a whitecoagulated mass at the interface between theaqueous and organic layers
The aqueous solution of nucleic acids can then beremoved with a pipette.
Several phenol extractions one after the otherbecause protein content is so great that a single phenolextraction is not sufficient to completely purify thenucleic acids
16
It results in a certain amount of breakage of the DNAmolecules
the cell extract treated with a protease such aspronase or proteinase K before phenol extraction.
This enzymes break polypeptides down into smallerunits, which are more easily removed by phenol
Effective way to remove the RNA is with the enzymeribonuclease, which rapidly degrades thesemolecules into ribonucleotide subunits.
17
Removal of protein contaminants by phenol extraction.
18
Using ion-exchange chromatography to purify DNA from a cell extractSeparates molecules according to how tightly theybind to electrically charged particles present in achromatographic matrix or resin
DNA and RNA are both negatively charged, as aresome proteins, and so bind to a positively chargedresin
The electrical attachment is disrupted by salt, removalof the more tightly bound molecules requiring higherconcentrations of salt
The resin in a glass or plastic column and then add thecell extract to the top
19
The extract passes through the column, and becausethis extract contains very little salt all the negativelycharged molecules bind to the resin
If a salt solution of gradually increasing concentrationis now passed through the column, the different typesof molecule will become unbound in the sequenceprotein, RNA, and finally DNA.
Different salt solutions are used to unbound theprotein and RNA, leaving just the DNA bound,followed by a second of a higher concentration whichunbound the DNA, now free from protein and RNAcontaminants.

4.Concentration of DNA samplesIt is important to increasing the DNA concentrationfrequently used method of concentration is ethanolprecipitationIn the presence of salt of monovalent cations such assodium ions and at a temperature of −20°C or less,absolute ethanol efficiently precipitates polymeric nucleicacidsEthanol precipitation has the added advantage of leavingshort-chain and monomeric nucleic acid components insolutionA glass rod pushed through the ethanol into the DNAsolution. When the rod is removed,DNA molecules adhereand can be pulled out of the solution in the form of a longfiberThe precipitate can be collected by centrifugation
23
Collecting DNA by ethanol precipitation. (a) Absolute ethanol is layered on top of a concentrated solution of DNA. Fibers of DNA can be withdrawn with a glass rod. (b) For less concentrated solutions ethanol is added (at a ratio of 2.5 volumes of absolute ethanol to 1 volume of DNA solution) and precipitated DNA collected by centrifugation.
