Figure 2. Differentiation based on 23S rDNA probes among eight Mycoplasma species potentially occurring in cattle.

Black bars denote experimental signals, gray bars denote theoretically predicted signals. Each hybridization experiment is characterized by matching score (MS) and accuracy (Delta MS, see Materials and Methods). Control bars at the right-hand margin show spotting buffer (background control) and biotinylated oligonucleotide (staining control).
