A recently isolated bacterial strain has been given to you for general characterization of the genome.You begin by isolating the DNA and subjecting it to thermal denaturation.You use Escherichia coli DNA as a reference (A + T = G +C).
Figure 18.1
Based on the information in the graph, you can determine that the DNA has a high
A)G-C content with respect to E. coli.
B)pyrimidine content with respect to E. coli.
C)A-T content with respect to E. coli.
D)purine content, with respect to E. coli.
E)none of the above
