PROTEIN AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF CLOSTRIDIUM SPP. ISOLATED FROM CONTAMINATED FOOD AND SOIL SAMPLES

Clostridium spp. is a common food contaminating anaerobic bacteria. Most of the packaged food contamination found to be caused due to Clostridium spp. Study was done on Clostridium spp. isolated from contaminated food and soil samples to characterize their toxic protein by SDS PAGE and to do their molecular characterization with the help of RAPD associated with restriction digestion by EcoRI using a random primer.
