Abstract

Marmur (4) developed one of the first detailed comprehensive methods for purifying bacterial DNA. This procedure is now outdated, and can be difficult to follow for those with limited experience in molecular biology. Here, we provide a modernized, simplified protocol for extracting bacterial DNA and discuss how this can be incorporated into microbiology laboratory courses for biology majors.
