Lim Wei Gene

You can try adding lysozyme to help in breaking down the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria before proceeding in DNA extraction.

To Chiu

I treated the pallet from the sample with 0.06 g/ml lysozyme in 400mM TE/EDTA buffer before the kit, but the yield and quality still low. The PCR result improved, though.
