Which of the Following Methods is Used to Distinguish Between

Question

Which of the following methods is used to distinguish between different strains of a bacterium?
A)Specialised transduction.
B)Growth characteristics.
C)Pulse field gel electrophoresis.
D)Colony morphology.
E)All of the above.

Accepted Answer

Pulse field gel electrophoresis is the method used to distinguish between different strains of a bacterium by separating genomic DNA fragments into a unique pattern that can be used for strain identification. Specialised transduction, growth characteristics, and colony morphology are not specific enough to distinguish between different strains.
