Molecular characterization of Penicillium expansum MUCL mutants.

The modern biomolecular analysis of DNA was carried out to determine the identity of Penicillium expansum MUCL V1-V9 Variants with parental strain of Penicillium expansum MUCL 29412 and to compare the results with Penicillium verrucosum, a related species. The extracted DNAs were fragmented by digestion with restriction endonuclease Hind III and the fragments were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The DNAs were then denaturated in the gel after partial depurination with dilute acid and were transferred to a nylon membrane.
