Taxonomic distribution of fungal rDNA clones obtained from soil^a

Taxon	No. of clones in soil
Alternaria	63
Ascobolus	82
Chaetomium	53
Cryptococcus	58
Fusarium	404
Raciborskiomyces	176
Rhizoctonia	69

^aThe data were obtained by adding the numbers of clones in the well-defined taxonomic groups from the UPGMA tree (Fig. 1). Clones not counted in this analysis were from regions of the tree that contained relatively few redundant fingerprints.
