Figure 3From: DNA is preserved and maintains transforming potential after contact with brines of the deep anoxic hypersaline lakes of the Eastern Mediterranean SeaStability of plasmid DNA in the brines and seawater. A: gel electrophoresis of pZR80(gfp) incubated for increasing periods of time in brines and seawater. B: relative quantification of the different plasmid conformations, OC (open circular), linear, CCC (covalently closed circular).Back to article page
