PCR was carried out in 50 µL reaction volume in a 0.2 ml
polypropylene tube and contained 40 ng of DNA template, 5 μL of
10 × polymerase buffers, 8 μL of dNTPs (1.25 mM), 1 μL of Taq
DNA polymerase (Roche) and 1 μl of each primer. The thermal
cycler used in this research was equipped with a heated lid, the
model was MJ Research, PTC-100. An initial denaturation and
enzyme activation step of 5 min at 95°C was done, followed by
amplification for 35 cycles at the following PCR conditions: 95°C for 5056 Afr. J. Biotechnol.
