[A simple and rapid procedure for detection of DNA damage caused by Aldicarb]

A simple and rapid procedure for detection of low levels DNA damage caused by Aldicarb was developed and compared with some other methods. In the original position the gel was set in high-pH buffer to run electrophoresis after the diluent of bacteria or fragmentized organ was added into hole of agarose gel directly and cells were treated with detergent and high alkaline condition. The impact of Aldicarb to biological individual or ecosystem was assessed according to the quantity of DNA and the extent of DNA migration.
