Rapid extraction of bacterial genomic DNA with guanidium thiocyanate

D.G. Pitcher, Nicholas A. Saunders, Robert J. Owen · 1 Apr 1989

A method is described for the rapid isolation and purification of bacterial genomic DNA. A total of 215 bacterial strains representing species of Campylobacter, Corynebacterium, Escherichia, Legionella, Neisseria, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, were lysed with guanidium thiocyanate. DNA was prepared using just three other reagents and one high‐speed centrifugation step. The method, which was applicable to…

Rapid preparation of DNA from filamentous fungi

Ute Raeder, Paul Broda · 1 Jan 1985

We describe a general, simple and inexpensive method for the isolation of DNA from filamentous fungi. Starting from freeze‐dried mycelium 01–015% by weight can be isolated as high molecular weight DNA suitable for restriction and ligation in 2 h. The preparation can be done in Eppendorf tubes and allows the processing of many samples in…

In-vitro antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of Sardinian Thymus essential oils

Sofia Cosentino, Carlo Ignazio Giovanni Tuberoso, Maria Barbara Pisano et al. · 1 Aug 1999

Essential oils and their components are becoming increasingly popular as naturally occurring antimicrobial agents. In this work the chemical composition and the antimicrobial properties of Thymus essential oils and of their main components were determined. Three essential oils obtained from different species of Thymus growing wild in Sardinia and a commercial sample of Thymus capitatus…

Antimicrobial properties of plant essential oils and essences against five important food-borne pathogens

Smith-Palmer, Stewart, Fyfe · 1 Feb 1998

The antimicrobial properties of 21 plant essential oils and two essences were investigated against five important food-borne pathogens, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. The oils of bay, cinnamon, clove and thyme were the most inhibitory, each having a bacteriostatic concentration of 0.075% or less against all five pathogens. In…

Extraction methods and bioautography for evaluation of medicinal plant antimicrobial activity

Antonia Nostro, Maria Paola Germanò, V. D’Angelo et al. · 1 May 2000

A comparative study on the antimicrobial properties of extracts from medicinal plants obtained by two different methods was carried out. The screening of the antimicrobial activity of extracts from six plants was conducted by a disc diffusion test against Gram-positive, -negative and fungal organisms. The most active extracts (inhibition diameter >/=12 mm) were assayed for…
