Is there a standardized protocol to extract DNA from dried soil samples?

31 March 2015 1 1K Report

We have tried to extract the DNA from soil samples (0.25g and dried) by using Powersoil DNA kit but the amount is to low for further analysis. Kindly help us in this regard.

Inaki Azcona

There is version of PowerSoil for samples with low microbial load, where you can extract the DNA from up to 10 g of soil. I attach a link.

Good luck!
