Fig 2. AscI-PFGE banding pattern changes due to the gain/loss of prophages 2 and 3.

Fig 2

The AscI-PFGE profile and corresponding brief two-enzyme PFGE profiles are listed on the right of the gel images. The corresponding prophage gain/loss profiles are listed to the right. + indicates the gain of a prophage and–indicates the loss of a prophage. Isolates exhibiting GX6A16.0061 contained both prophages 2 and 3. The loss of prophage 3 resulted in the change of a ~275 Kbp fragment in the gel pattern of GX6A16.0061 to ~237 Kbp in the gel patterns of GX6A16.0026 and GX6A16.0020, and this ~237 Kbp fragment and a ~240 Kbp fragment formed a duplet. The loss of prophage 2 resulted in the change of a ~392 Kbp fragment in the gel patterns of GX6A16.0061 and GX6A16.0026 to ~352 Kbp in the gel pattern of GX6A16.0020. The loss of both prophages 2 and 3 resulted in the pattern change from GX6A16.0061 to GX6A16.0020.
