Abstract:

Determination of the G+C content of DNA from strain TE55 chlamydia trachomatis by the thermal denaturation temperature (Tin) method which was improved by Lin Wang-ming, using the semiconductor thermistor thermometer was reported in this paper. This method is simple, convenient and can he repeated with satisfaction. The results showed that G+C content of strain TE55 C.trachomatis DNA was almost the same as those reported in literature. In future, this method can be used to identify and classify chlamydia in clinical samples.
