[Restriction analysis of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans DNA using pulsed field electrophoresis]. 1992

T F Kondrat'eva, and G I Karavaĭko

The DNA of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans digested by any of the five restriction endonucleases (DraI, EcoRI, Eco321, HindIII, XbaI) was studied by electrophoresis in the pulsating differently directed electric fields (PF). The influence of PF conditions on the sized row of the divided DNA fragments was studied. Only the XbaI restriction endonuclease was shown to cleave the Thiobacillus ferrooxidans DNA into a number of fragments permitting one to define the sizes of fragments and genome (no more than 2300 bp). The prospects of using the restriction analysis of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans wild type culture for improving its properties in obtaining heavy metals are discussed.

D016521	Electrophoresis, Gel, Pulsed-Field	Gel electrophoresis in which the direction of the electric field is changed periodically. This technique is similar to other electrophoretic methods normally used to separate double-stranded DNA molecules ranging in size up to tens of thousands of base-pairs. However, by alternating the electric field direction one is able to separate DNA molecules up to several million base-pairs in length.
