Instrumental Analysis:
Amber is an excellent source of preserved ancient organisms. Many bacteria remain dormant inside insects trapped in the amber and may be extracted, cloned and studied. Since the amber may be dated using geological methods, such investigations are a valuable source of ancient genetic information for biologists. Suggest a method that will permit the determination of metabolic products such as nucleic acids, short peptides and fatty acids obtained from cloned ancient bacteria. State any special instrument conditions or configuration.
