Genetic stability of strains preserved on LENTICULE discs and by freeze-drying: a comparison using fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) analysis, a high-resolution genome fingerprinting method, was used to ascertain the DNA integrity of bacterial strains during preservation by lenticulation and by traditional freeze-drying into glass ampoules. This was achieved by comparing FAFLP genotypes of a range of paired bacterial isolates recovered from LENTICULE discs (preserved between 1995 and...
