Identify the enzyme that is used during the isolation of genomic DNA from bacteria.

Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell open to release DNA along with other macromolecules such as RNA, proteins, polysaccharides and also lipids. This can be achieved by treating the bacterial cells with enzymes such as lysozyme. Cellulase and pectinase is used for plants and Chitinase is used for fungi.
