Examination of whole cell lipid profiles for PM1 [Methylibium petroleiphilum strain] and YM1 [Bacillus sp. strain] indicates that they are not identical strains. Thermal gradient gel electrophoresis(TGGE) analysis of 16S rRNA gene fragments from the two strains, however, showed no difference between them. 16S rDNA sequence analysis of strains PM1 and YM1 revealed that they are both most closely related to the genus Sphingomonas. 2, record 1, English, - thermal%20gradient%20gel%20electrophoresis

PCR consists in the selective amplification of a given DNA sequence from a pathogen's genome. In qualitative PCR, the presence of an amplification product is checked by gel electrophoresis... 3, record 2, English, - qualitative%20PCR

When PCR is used only for detecting a specific DNA segment, the method is referred to as qualitative PCR. ... Qualitative PCR is an extremely sensitive method which is theoretically able to detect a single DNA molecule in a sample solution. In many cases specific genes are copied in this way, e.g. in order to identify pathological changes. ... Qualitative PCR is also used around the world in forensic medicine to identify individuals. ... only qualitative PCR can determine whether an infection has been eradicated, whether it is chronic (and might therefore progress unnoticed) and whether the individual has been reinfected with a different but related pathogen. 4, record 2, English, - qualitative%20PCR

La PCR qualitative est une technique très sensible c'est-à-dire qu'elle détecte le virus même en très petite quantité dans le sang. [...] Elle est utile lors du diagnostic d'hépatite virale C. Par exemple, si on trouve des anticorps anti-VHC dans le sang d'un individu, [le] médecin fait [...] réaliser une PCR qualitative qui confirme ou non la persistance du virus dans l'organisme. [La PCR qualitative] est [aussi] utile lors de la surveillance d'un traitement. Par exemple, le médecin prescrit une PCR qualitative à la fin du traitement de l'hépatite puis 24 semaines après pour savoir si le virus est encore présent ou non, c'est-à-dire si le traitement a été efficace ou non. 4, record 2, French, - PCR%20qualitative

Three families of repetitive sequences have been studied in most detail, including the 35-40 bp [base pair] repetitive extragenic palindromic(REP) sequence, the 124-127 bp enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus(ERIC) sequence, and the 154 bp BOX element. These sequences appear to be located in distinct, intergenic positions all around the chromosome. The repetitive elements may be present in both orientations on the chromosome, and PCR [polymerase chain reaction] primers have been designed to "read outward" from the inverted repeats in REP and ERIC, and from the boxA subunit of BOX. The use of the above primer(s) and PCR leads to the selective amplification of distinct genomic regions located between REP, ERIC or BOX sequences. The corresponding protocols are referred to as REP-PCR, ERIC-PCR and BOX-PCR, respectively, and rep-PCR collectively. Amplified bands are size fractionated through a gel matrix to yield fingerprint patterns resembling "bar codes", analogous to UPC codes used in grocery stores, and function as a signature for specific bacterial strains. 3, record 3, English, - BOX%2DPCR
