ABSTRACT
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a popular molecular tool for detection of bacteria. PCR allows millions of copies of a target segment of DNA to be produced. The DNA is extracted from overnight grown cultures of pure bacterial isolates using either the organo-solvent method or a commercial DNA extraction kit. The quality and purity of the DNA is determined by performing gel electrophoresis on 0.8% agarose gel. The DNA is amplified by performing PCR assay. Bands of approximately 1.5 kb in size are obtained from the amplified products of DNA. The PCR products run on 1.5% agarose gel are visualized with UV light and imaged by gel documentation system. This chapter outlines the protocol for isolation and amplification of DNA from cellulolytic bacteria. Cellulolytic bacteria are considered a potential source of cellulases for pretreatment of crop residues during biogas production. PCR is considered a very powerful, sensitive, specific, fast, and reliable tool in molecular detection and diagnostics.
