title: An isolation method of DNA from Pneumocystis carinii: a quantitative comparison to known parasitic protozoan DNA.
abstract: 1. A method for isolating DNA from Pneumocystis carinii is described. 2. The DNA content per nucleus is 0.22-0.34 pg. 3. This finding is consistent with other parasitic protozoa DNA content per nuclei.
