a

NF, average number of fragments differing from the unit size.

b

SF, sum of fragment sizes. The average and standard deviation (in parentheses) are shown for some values.

c

For each species (n > 2), polymorphism is calculated by dividing the sum of the different genotypes encountered for each enzyme by the number of strains analyzed and given as a percentage.
