Ds. Attili et al., RDNA-RFLP AND ITSI SEQUENCING OF SPECIES OF THE GENUS FONSECAEA, AGENTS OF CHROMOBLASTOMYCOSIS, MEDICAL MYCOLOGY, 36(4), 1998, pp. 219-225
Amplicons of SSU and ITS1 + 2 rDNA of 13 strains of Fonsecaea pedrosoi
and three strains of F. compacta were digested with seven restriction
enzymes. In addition, the ITS1 region of 14 strains was sequenced. Wi
th both methods significant variation was found which, however, did no
t coincide with established species limits based on morphology.
