A simple, rapid, safe and cost effective DNA extraction method is an all time need for efficient molecular screening of fungus using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A number of protocols are now available to suit recovery of DNA from different fungi. But, only a few are universally used for all fungal origin. In this pursuit, the authors presented a detailed review of the status of fungal DNA isolation using different methods. | Exploring rapid and efficient protocol for isolation of fungal DNA
