Culture names, Internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) type designations, species names (if formally described), hosts of origin, geographic location of isolation, and reference for the molecular genetic identification of the strains. Underlined strains represent those used in time series experiments. Italicised strains had sister cultures included in this study (e.g., RT64 and 64).
