Abstract
The deoxynucleotide (dNMP) composition of ten strains of C. neoformans was analysed by P-32-labelling and two-dimensional thin-layer chromat ography. This technique is very sensitive for detecting rare deoxynucl eotide adducts and analogues (minor bases) in DNA. The results indicat e considerable variation among strains in DNA nucleotide composition.
