The authors compared the influence of six different extraction buffers on DNA yields, DNA purity, co-extracted humic compound yields, and their PCR (polymerase chain reaction) sensitivity from a typical acidic and high organic content soil type, mangrove soil. Results showed that the quality of the soil DNA obtained using the acidic SDS (sodium dodecyl sul-fate) buffer was poor. The DNA yields obtained using the PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) buffer were higher than the other buff-ers, whereas the co-extracted humic compound yields were significantly higher. PCR results showed that no expected bands were obtained even in 1:1000 dilutions of the DNA extracts obtained using the acidic SDS buffer or PVP buffer. On the other hand, although the PVPP (polyvinylpolypyrrolidone) buffer and the CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) and PVPP buffer resulted in a lower DNA yield, the purity of the soil DNA was improved. In addition, the purity was improved as the concentration of PVPP in the buffer increased. Moreover, PCR amplification was successfully conducted in the 1:10 dilutions of the DNA extracts obtained using the CTAB and PVPP buffer and in the 1:100 dilutions of DNA extracts obtained using the 2% PVPP buffer, respectively. In conclusion, acidic SDS buffer and PVP buffer were not suitable for extracting DNA from the acidic and high organic content soil type; however, 2% PVPP buffer and CTAB and PVPP buffer improved the DNA quality.
