Abstract
Protocol used for DNA-Extraction of Clostridia in my project.
DNA-Kit used is GenFind V3 by Beckmann/Coulter.
Some steps used from:
Sim JH, Anikst V, Lohith A, Pourmand N, Banaei N. Optimized Protocol for Simple Extraction of High-Quality Genomic DNA from Clostridium difficile for Whole-Genome Sequencing. J Clin Microbiol. 2015;53(7):2329-2331. doi:10.1128/JCM.00956-15

Inoculate Clostridia in 10ml TSB-Broth, incubating at least 48h in anaerobe atmosphere at 37°C
10 mL TSB broth48:00:00 at 37°C anaerobic

Take 2ml of Clostridia TSB-Broth and centrifuge for 15min at 3,000g, after that remove supernatant

Add 300ul vortexed Black Beads(BBB) and tipmix(at least 10 times), incubate for 5 min at room temperature, place on a magnetic tube stand until no or few beads are left in suspension ~10-15min, then carefully remove supernatant without disturbing the beads-formation

go to step #8 for a total of 2 WBC washes
Add 100ul distilled water, tipmix 10 times, incubate for 2min at roomtemp, tipmix 10 times again and go to next step OR place in a 4°C fridge overnight, tipmix 10 times next day
