Abstract excerpt

Detection of genetic variation among microorganisms can be done by DNA fingerprinting using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Application of primers directed to polymorphic DNA leads to the amplification of DNA fragments which differ in length when different species or isolates of a single species are compared. It has been demonstrated that PCR primers resembling eukaryotic repeat motifs enable the...
