title: Improvement of chromosomal DNA extraction from different yeast species by analysis of single preparation steps.
abstract: A modified procedure is proposed for chromosomal DNA extraction based on a cell-wall lytic enzyme never applied before in pulsed field gel electrophoresis. Protoplasting efficiency is retained under very challenging conditions for enzyme activity, such as those required for non-Saccharomyces yeasts often characterized by cell walls highly resistant to lysis.
