Abstract: Molecular biologicresearch on bacteriophages is primarily based on genomic DNA extraction. The traditional DNA extraction for bacteriophages is complicated in operation andthe use of phenol and chloroform in the DNA extraction is harmful to operator. A new rapid method for bacteriophage genome DNA extraction was developed. Procedures in the method includes nucleic acid degradation of host strains,bacteriophage precipitation,bacteriophage DNA release,impurity removal DNA adsorption,DNA washing,and DNA elution. The results indicated that bacteriophagegenomic DNAs,the host strains of which are Vibrio alginolyticus,Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae,respectively,were extractedin two hours at the soonest,with the yield and purity of genomic DNAsbeing up to 100 ng·μL-1and 1. 8( OD260/280),respectively. This extraction method can prevent the DNA contamination from the host strains,and thus the extractedgenomic DNA of bacteriophagescan be used in further experiments.
