Figure 4.
Electrophoretic separation of the PCR products obtained from amplification of Amphora coffeaeformis chromosomal DNA with primer pairs: (1) specific for small-subunit rRNA; (2) UniE-F and UniE-R, specific for a portion of the gene coding for the diatom elongation factor eEF1-a and (3) UniS-F1 and UniS-R1, specific for a portion of the gene coding for the diatom silicic acid transporter (SIT). The DNA fragment shown in lane 3 represents the amplicon after purification by agarose gel extraction. Lane L contains the 100 bp DNA ladder (Fermentas).
