Study of the effect of methylene blue on DNA breaks in Esсherichia coli cells using gel electrophoresis method
https://doi.org/10.25557/2073-7998.2025.08.110-111
Abstract
The method of gel electrophoresis of DNA was used to assess the extent of DNA damage in bacteria exposed to methylene blue (MB). Gel electrophoretic analysis of DNA integrity in Escherichia coli cells revealed that MB induces DNA breaks, with the level of fragmentation depending on its concentration.
