Abstract
-
In this study, a novel rapid and efficient DNA extraction method based on alkaline lysis, which can deal
with a large number of filamentous fungal isolates in the same batch, was established. The filamentous
fungal genomic DNA required only 20 min to prepare and can be directly used as a template for PCR
amplification. The amplified internal transcribed spacer regions were easy to identify by analysis. The extracted
DNA also can be used to amplify other protein-coding genes for fungal identification. This method
can be used for rapid systematic identification of filamentous fungal isolates.
