Abstract

The guanine-plus-cytosine (G+C) ratio of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was determined for 7 and 24 species by a new method that combines a micro-scale preparation of DNA with isopycnic gradient centrifugation. For three and seven species, the results were compared with values obtained by other investigators.
