FIG. 1.
Identification of C. parapsilosis strains with mitochondrial telomere-derived (C. parapsilosis-specific) and 18S rRNA gene-derived (yeast-specific) primers. PCR amplification and gel electrophoresis were performed as described in Materials and Methods. Lanes 1 to 14 contained samples of strains CBS 7157, CBS 604T, CBS 1954, CBS 2152, CBS 2193, CBS 2195, CBS 2197, CBS 2211, CBS 2215, CBS 2916, CBS 5301, CBS 6318, CBS 8050, and CBS 8181. Arrows indicate the positions of the mitochondrial telomere-specific PCR product (141 bp) and the 18S rRNA-specific PCR product (959 bp).
