We use a Mini-bead beater from Biospec Products, Inc. I'm not so sure vortexing would do the trick.

Hi Dan, Yep, we use the Qiagen RNeasy kit. It's super easy and relatively inexpensive. The kit has you resuspend your cell pellet in a buffer called RLT. We place this suspension in a matrix lysing tube (matrix B - MP Biomedicals 6911-100) and bead beat for 45 seconds on max speed, two times (icing in between) to break open the cells. Then, you centrifuge this tube briefly and transfer the supernatent into a new tube and go on with the procedure where you add 560ul of 80% EtOH. Let me know if you need more information!! Bekah

Hi Lee, Do you use this method for all Streptomyces species? Are you using liquid media specific for sporulation? I know some do not sporulate in liquid (coelicolor)…not sure if it matters. I have always used spore stocks and top agar. Of course your method sounds easier!!!! Best, Bekah

Hi Steve, Why aren't you using top agar? I have used it when isolating S. lividans phage. Bekah
