Dear all, we are also sampling (plant roots with colonizing fungi) and directly storing them in 80% EtOH. We later store at -20°C, also in 80% EtOH. Is there a comparison between storage in EtOH and DMSO? Differences in DNA extraction efficiency?
I have not found the details (yet) and I have to admitt that I never thought about DMSO storage, before. We could transfer all our samples in DMSO, if this is proven to be the better alternative.
Thanks for any information, Arthur

The EDIT ATB+I (All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory and Monitoring) Manual is in the final stages of editing and it should be published at the end of this summer. It will be published by Abc Taxa in Belgium as an open access document about 660 pages long with contributions from about 80 authors. You can see some of the chapters online now at http://www.abctaxa.be/volumes/ but the site requires that you create an online access account before you can look at the manual (Volume 8).

Dear David Schindel: could I have a copy of the EDIT-generated methods manual promised to for release since March, 2010. It may be of great assistance to those of us working in Nigeria. Thanks

Hi Weigt,

Thanks for the insight on the DMSO. I think as you suggest DMSO is superior preservative for DNA compared to 70% ethanol and especially if intention is to ship tissue samples.
