Specificity verification of the Fusarium sp. PNA probe and assessments of rRNA retention and its hybridizability in strains of molds. Cell block sections from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded fungi were hybridized with Fusarium sp. PNA probe (a to d) or with panfungal PNA probe (e to h). Fusarium sp. PNA probe hybridized strongly with F. solani (d), whereas some cross-hybridization occurred with the P. boydii (c). The panfungal PNA probe reacted with all fungi tested (e to h). (a and e) A. fumigatus (NBRC 6344); (b and f) A. terreus (NBRC 33026); (c and g) P. boydii (NBRC 8078); (d and h) F. solani (NBRC 5232). Original magnification, ×400.
