Hap. Junior et Nm. Martinezrossi, RESTRICTION-ENDONUCLEASE ANALYSIS OF MITOCHONDRIAL-DNA OF METARHIZIUM-ANISOPLIAE STRAINS, Brazilian journal of genetics, 18(3), 1995, pp. 369-372
Mitochondrial DNAs from strains A4, A19, AL, E6, E9 and MT of Metarhiz
ium anisopliae var. anisopliae were isolated and characterized by rest
riction-endonucleases. The banding pattern obtained was the same for a
ll strains investigated, indicating that their mtDNAs have the same mo
lecular sizes (about 36 Kb) and the same restriction sites for the enz
ymes used. Thus, the restriction pattern of the mtDNA of these strains
may serve as a specific marker for the identification of the variety
anisopliae or of subpopulations of this variety.
