FIG. 7.

PCR of DNAs derived from whole cells of Yersinia spp. or E. coli DH5α. (A) Oligonucleotide primers derived from a region of Y. enterocolitica yfuA were used to PCR amplify genomic DNAs from the indicated strains. The predicted product is indicated by the arrow. (B) Oligonucleotide primers were derived from a region of Y. pestis yfeA. The predicted amplicon is designated with an arrow. Reactions were performed with Taq DNA polymerase for 25 cycles of 94°C for 30 s, 50°C for 30 s, and 72°C for 30 s.
