The ZR Fungal/Bacterial DNA MicroPrep™, ZR Fungal/Bacterial DNA MiniPrep™, ZR Fungal/Bacterial DNA MidiPrep™, and ZR-96 Fungal/Bacterial DNA Kit™ are designed for the simple and rapid isolation of DNA from tough-to-lyse fungi, including A. fumigatus, C. albicans, N. crassa, S. cerevisiae, S. pombe, as well as Gram (+/-) bacteria, algae, and protozoa. The procedures are easy and can
be completed in minutes: fungal and/or bacterial samples are rapidly and efficiently lysed with our state of the art, ultra-high density BashingBeads™. Fast-Spin column or plate technology is then used to isolate the DNA that is ideal for downstream molecular-based applications including PCR, array, etc.
Our state of the art BashingBeads™ are constructed of the highest quality, most dense ceramic material available today. They are
used when thorough sample homogenization/lysis is required by the researcher. DNA shearing by physical and chemical methods is minimized
since the beads are fracture resistant and chemically inert. They are unique amongst the lysis matrices offered by other companies for DNA isolation from
tough-to-lyse materials.
DNA isolated from S. cerevisiae (spores) and E. coli using the ZR Fungal/Bacterial DNA MiniPrep™ is high quality and structurally intact. Equivalent amounts of yeast and bacteria were processed using the ZR Fungal/Bacterial DNA MiniPrep™ or the kit from Supplier M. Equal volumes of eluted DNA were then analyzed in a 0.8% (w/v) agarose/ethidium bromide gel. The size marker is a 1 kb ladder (Zymo Research).

Ordering Information
1. Add sample to a ZR BashingBead™ Lysis Tube & process in a cell disruptor at maximum speed for 5 min.
2. Centrifuge the ZR BashingBead™ Lysis Tube at 10,000 x g for 1 min.
3. Transfer 400 µl supernatant to a Zymo-Spin™ IV Spin Filter in a Collection Tube & centrifuge at 7,000 rpm for 1 min.
4. Add 1.2 ml Fungal/Bacterial DNA Binding Buffer to the filtrate in the Collection Tube from Step 3.
5. Transfer 800 µl of the mixture from Step 4 to a Zymo-Spin™ IIC Column in a Collection Tube & centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 1 min. Discard the flow through & repeat.
6. Add 200 µl DNA Pre-Wash Buffer to the Zymo-Spin™ IIC Column & centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 1 min., then wash w/ 500 µl Fungal/Bacterial DNA Wash Buffer.
7. Transfer the column to a clean 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube & add 100 µl DNA Elution Buffer directly to the column matrix. Centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 30 sec. to elute the DNA.
