Notes:
The capacity of one-dimensional SDS-PAGE of whole bacterial cells to both separete and cluster taxonomic units is studied using members of Enterobacteriaceae as test material. The results show that intraspecies variation can be detected and on the other hand the degree of taxonomic divergence which still can be grouped together is determined. In addition the system has high tolerance to changes in cell culture conditions making the usage of SDS-PAGE suitable for applications where rapid and reliable bacterial identification is needed.
