Analysis
This is the REP primer gel, the banding patterns from the gel were analyzed to generate information for the dendrogram.
Dendrogram from UPGMA similarities(full size)
This is the dendrogram generated using Ntsys software. It shows the genetic similarity between the isolates.
Non-fuscous Culture Xap 29
Fuscous Culture Xap 65
There were definitely differences between the Xap isolates. However, there were some identical isolates in relation to fuscous cultures and geographical location.
Cultures that were identical and similar were sometimes fuscous. Fuscous cultures were Xap 5,11, 21 and 65.
The highly aggressive cultures seemed to be mostly fuscous with the exception of Xap 2, 23 and 29. All highly aggressive cultures seemed to be grouped together with the exception of Xap 29 and 81.
