2.PrinciplesMicroorganisms are raw materials for the industrialproduction of nucleic acids, with yeast beingparticularly ideal.This is because yeast nucleic acid mainly consists ofRNA (2.67-10.0%), with very little DNA (0.03-0.514%)The yeast cells are easy to collect, and RNA is easilyseparated

2.PrinciplesThe commonly used methods in industrial production arethe dilute alkali method and the concentrated salt method- The former utilizes dilute alkali to dissolve the cell wallThis method has a short extraction time, but RNA isunstable under these conditions and prone to decomposition- The latter involves using high-concentration salt to altercell membrane permeability under heating conditionsThis method is easy to master and produces a betterproduct color

2.PrinciplesAttention should be paid to temperature during extraction toavoid prolonged exposure in the range of 20-70°C, as this isthe temperature range where phosphodiesterases andphosphomonoesterases are active, which can degrade RNAand prevent its collectionRapid heating to 90-100°C to denature proteins and destroythese enzymes will be beneficial for RNA extraction
