How to get to Archaea DNA?

Hi!

anyone knows of the best methods to get to Archaea DNA? Their cells are tough to break open! I you think I should go the beadbeating way, mind suggesting which glass size to use, and a time? And I do not have a sonic disruptor ;)

Thank you!

Helene

Which reagent is best among 'Dimethylglyoxime" and "Dithiothreitol" for spectroscopic determination of Nickel ?

What I think is Dithiothreitol. As it is water-soluble and does not form a precipitate. But, the thing is it contains sulphur which is quite hazardous to aquatic animals.
