Abstract excerpt
Flavobacterium columnare is a fresh water bacterium that causes columnaris diseases in over 36 fish species. Intra-species typing of F. columnare can be performed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). However, this method is hampered by the degradation of chromosomal DNA in about 10% of strains. In the current study, DNA degradation problems caused by extracellular DNases were overcome by fixation of cells...
