Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The identification of two species of pathogenic bacteria present in the food sample using (PCR).
Introduction:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequences isolated from various sources like cells, plasmids are seldom present in the sufficient quantity to proceed to subsequent applications. More often than not, DNA sequences are subjected to PCR (polymerase chain reactions) not only to amplify them but also to select the GOI (gene of interest) from the obtained gene pool.
