Distribution of IS2404 positive mycolactone producing mycobacteria in aquatic environmental matrices from Adiopodoumé.

Environmental Samples	IS2404 Positives (%)
Plant biofilms	8/12 (66.7 a)
Water filtrates	6/12 (50 a)
Plant detritus	5/8 (62.5 a)
Soils	4/8 (50 a)

^a There was no significant difference between the positive average proportions of the four types of environmental matrices collected and the distribution of mycolactone producing mycobacteria in environmental samples could be homogeneous; p-value (0.72) > 0.05 for IS2404.
