Abstract excerpt
Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis is a DNA polymorphism assay commonly used for fingerprinting genomes. After optimizing the reaction conditions, samples of Escherichia coli H10407 DNA were assayed to determine the influence of osmotic and/or oligotrophic stress on variations in RAPD banding patterns. Genetic rearrangements or DNA topology variations could be detected as changes in agarose gel...
