Documentation

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

Detailed product information

Characteristics

Comments

This preparation of high molecular weight DNA is appropriate for use in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process and other molecular biology applications.

Source culture ATCC BAA-1614 is not available for distribution.

The presence of pMT1 and pPCP1 and the absence of pCD1 in BAA-1614D-5 have been confirmed by PCR amplification of plasmid-specific sequences from extracted DNA.

Handling information

Handling procedure
  1. Thaw the vial at room temperature and immediately place on ice. Avoid exposing the DNA to repeated freeze-thaw cycles as it may result in degradation of the DNA.
  2. Gently mix the sample to ensure an even distribution of material.
  3. Briefly centrifuge the tube before opening to ensure all liquid is at the bottom.
Handling notes

Genomic DNA isolated from bacteria is appropriate for PCR and other molecular biology applications.

Quality control specifications

Electrophoresis - RNA content
No RNA was detected by electrophoresis
Integrity
Integrity of DNA was determined by electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel stained with SYBR Safe™, and was found to be of high molecular weight.
Functional tests

Functional activity was confirmed by PCR amplification of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene.

Identity

Identity confirmed by sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA gene (first ~500 base pairs).

Verification method
Whole-genome Sequencing
