Abstract

The diaminobenzoic acid dihydrochloride fluorescence method has been examined to determine optimal conditions for the assay of DNA in perchloric acid extracts and in pretreated Chlamydomonas cells on glass-fiber filters. Maximal fluorescence yield was obtained by allowing: (a) the perchloric acid extract to react with 4–6% diaminobenzoic acid dihydrochloride for 20–40 min at 60–80°C at about pH 3.0; (b) the pretreated cells on glass-fiber filters to react with a 20% solution of diaminobenzoic acid dihydrochloride for 40 min at 60°C.
