Isolation of Genomic DNA from E. coli

Isolation of genomic DNA is one of the most important and common experiment that is carried out in molecular biology and includes the transition from cell biology to molecular biology.

Cytochemical Staining of DNA

Felugen reaction or cytochemical staining of DNA is a method of identifying DNA or other chromosomal material in a given cell specimen.

Common Biochemical Tests in Microbiology: Action on Litmus Milk

Milk is a very complicated source of nutrition that consists of protein in an aqueous solution of lactose and minerals. When bacteria are inoculated in this milk, the enzymes secreted by bacteria may bring about changes in the media. Litmus is added identify any changes in the pH.

Common Biochemical Tests in Microbiology: Methyl Red Test

Methyl-Red Test is one of the important biochemical test performed on bacterial species for studying about the ability of an organism to perform mixed acid fermentation from given glucose. It is a part of IMViC test.
