Primena RAPD metode u ekogenotoksikološkim istraživanjima – studija slučaja Sava i Dunav

Abstract

In recent years the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA method (RAPD) is frequently used in ecogenotoxicology. Within two case studies on the Sava River and the Danube River, muscle tissue of Alburnus alburnus (bleak) specimens sampled from nine sites was used for RAPD analysis. The RAPD results on the Sava River study indicate the grouping of specimens from polluted sites (UB and UK) as opposed to specimens from the less polluted site, SZ. The RAPD results of the Danube River case study do not show a clear bleak grouping in relation to pollution pressures, indicating that additional analyses are needed.
