Which enzymes would you use to disrupt the cell membranes in the following cells?
i)Bacteria
ii)Fungi
iii)Plant cells

i- Lysozyme
ii- Chitinase
iii- Cellulase

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/plant or animal tissue with enzymes such as lysozyme (bacteria), cellulase (plant cells), chitinase (fungus).
