How is DNA isolated in purified form from a bacterial cell.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To isolate DNA in purified form from a bacterial cell, the process can be broken down into three main steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Digestion of the Cell Wall**: - The first step involves breaking down the bacterial cell wall. This is typically achieved using a lytic enzyme such as lysozyme, which targets the peptidoglycan layer of the cell wall, allowing access to the contents of the cell. 2. **Digestion of RNA**: ...
