Genomic DNA Amplification from a Single Bacterium
Appl Environ Microbiol. 2005 Jun 01; 71(6): 3342-7.
Abstract
Genomic DNA was amplified about 5 billion-fold from single, flow-sorted bacterial cells by the multiple displacement amplification (MDA) reaction, using phi 29 DNA polymerase. A 662-bp segment of the 16S rRNA gene could be accurately sequenced from the amplified DNA. MDA methods enable new strategies for studying non-culturable microorganisms.
