hello

i am trying to extract DNA and RNA from chlorella vulgaris. first i tried the CTAB methods but i couldn't get high yields and the quality of DNA or RNA. I used the TaKaRa MiniBEST Plant Genomic DNA Extraction Kit but i got a low yield around 10 ng/ul. For RNA, i used geneall kit based on trizol method however i couldn't get any RNA.

in each time, i used 200-300 mg of microalgae. i disturb the microalgae using homogenizer or liquid nitrogen.

what is the best method to break microalgae wall to get higher yields of DNA and RNA with high quality?.

thanks in advance.
