High‐Throughput Culture and DNA Isolation Methods for Aspergillus fumigatus

mycolabadmin

Scientists have developed a faster, cheaper way to grow and extract DNA from Aspergillus fumigatus, a fungus that causes serious infections in sick people. Using 96-well plates (the same format used in many laboratories), researchers can now process many samples at once instead of handling them one by one. The method works well for identifying drug-resistant fungal strains and preparing DNA for genetic analysis.

Optimizing a modified cetyltrimethylammonium bromide protocol for fungal DNA extraction: Insights from multilocus gene amplification

mycolabadmin

This research improves how scientists extract DNA from fungi found in dried fruits and other sources. The modified CTAB method is faster, cheaper, and produces higher quality DNA than commercial kits, without requiring special equipment like liquid nitrogen. The extracted DNA works well for identifying fungal species and detecting fungal diseases in fish, plants, and humans, making it valuable for both research and medical diagnostics.

Optimizing a modified cetyltrimethylammonium bromide protocol for fungal DNA extraction: Insights from multilocus gene amplification

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed an improved method for extracting fungal DNA that is faster, cheaper, and safer than current commercial kits. The new protocol works by using a special chemical solution and simple crushing tools instead of expensive equipment like liquid nitrogen or bead beaters. They tested it on 40 different fungal species found in dry fruits and successfully identified them all using genetic markers, showing the method could help diagnose fungal diseases in plants, animals, and humans.
