Determination of DNA base composition by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

Jin Támaoka, Kazuo Komagata · 1 Nov 1984

DNA base composition was determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). DNA was hydrolysed into nucleosides with nuclease P1 and bacterial alkaline phosphatase. The mixture of nucleosides was applied to HPLC without any further purification. One determination by chromatography needed 2 µg of hydrolysed nucleosides and took only 8 min. The relative standard error of…

An efficient microbiological growth medium for screening phosphate solubilizing microorganisms

Chandra Shekhar Nautiyal · 1 Jan 1999

A novel defined microbiological growth medium, National Botanical Research Institute's phosphate growth medium (NBRIP), which is more efficient than Pikovskaya medium (PVK), was developed for screening phosphate solubilizing microorganisms. In plate assay the efficiency of NBRIP was comparable to PVK; however, in broth assay NBRIP consistently demonstrated about 3-fold higher efficiency compared to PVK. The…

Diversity, metabolism and microbial ecology of butyrate-producing bacteria from the human large intestine

Petra Louis, Harry J. Flint · 13 Feb 2009

Butyrate-producing bacteria play a key role in colonic health in humans. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge of the diversity, metabolism and microbial ecology of this functionally important group of bacteria. Human colonic butyrate producers are Gram-positive firmicutes, but are phylogenetically diverse, with the two most abundant groups related to Eubacterium rectale/Roseburia…

BLAST 2 Sequences, a new tool for comparing protein and nucleotide sequences

Tatiana Tatusova, Thomas Madden · 1 May 1999

'BLAST 2 Sequences', a new BLAST-based tool for aligning two protein or nucleotide sequences, is described. While the standard BLAST program is widely used to search for homologous sequences in nucleotide and protein databases, one often needs to compare only two sequences that are already known to be homologous, coming from related species or, e.g.…
