³²P-random labelling of DNA probes were done as described in the Methods section. See Table 3 for position of the PCR products used for the synthesis of DNA probes. + : positive hybridization signal, - : no hybridization signal (<72% identity). * : hydridization signals varied according to the sigI DNA probe used. (+): these positive signals were only obtained with the Bvi-sigI probe.
