Purification of DNA for bacterial productivity estimates / B. Kent Burnison and Donna J. Nuttley.: En13-5/89-11E-PDF

"[Methyl-3H] thymidine labelled DNA from natural populations of aquatic bacteria was completely separated from RNA and protein using hydroxylapatite chromatography. The procedure was validated by monitoring increases in E; coli cell count, absorbance at 550 nm, DNA concentration, and thymidine incorporation into DNA isolated by the proposed technique. The procedure can be used in the field and does not rely on the use of acid-base hydrolyses or volatile organic solvents"--Abstract.
