Abstract
Provided herein are methods for isolating nucleic acids from intact cells in a sample of intact cells, contamination dead cells, cell debris, and biofilm using two separation steps, either by centrifugation or filtration, performed in sequentially. Also provided is a method for isolating nucleic acids from intact cells using a first separation step followed by treatment with a nuclease and then a second separating step. Provided herein is a related method for isolating DNA from intact cells using a nuclease that produces DNA cuts on double stranded DNA, followed by a second separating step.
