ABSTRACT
Genomic DNA of the two bacterial strains including Escherichia coli DH5? and Enterobacter cloacae E 26R were amplified by PCR with specific primers of ERIC sequence Each strain showed the stable and unique DNA fingerprint when PCR products were analyzed in agarose gel electrophoresis The stability of the genomic DNA fingerprint wasn't influenced by the templet from 10ng to 100ng In the fingerprints there were characteristic bands The unique band was influenced difficultly due to the change of the environment and condition of experiment DH5? and E 26R were mixed proportionately, and examined by ERIC PCR The result showed that the DNA fingerprints of the mixture were the superposition of each pure bacterium's Analysis of the main bands showed that DH5? can be examined by ERIC PCR when its concentration gets to 0 5% of the total mixed bacteria The study provides the reference for the research of soil microbe and environmental microbe, and especially can be used for quick identification and examination of the sundry bacterial contamination in the fermentation industry
