Comparisons of LSCM4 DNA sequences with those from L. martiniquensis LSCM1 [6]. The lengths of the sequences given are the number of nucleotides, the analysis excludes PCR primers and comparisons were made using Clustal Omega

Sequence	Length LSCM4	Length LSCM1	% identitya	No. of identical nt	No. of differences
ITS1	251	259	59.1	153	106
RPL23a IGS	468	472	64.8	306	166
RNAPolII	1206	1206	91.5	1104	102
HSP70	1319	1319	95.7	1262	57

^a% identity = no. of identical nucleotides/longest length, where sequence length differs
