FIG. 3.

Characterization of the SG-749 fragment with the restriction enzyme AluI. (A) AluI restriction haplotypes of the SG-749 fragment found in the 61 strains of the B. cereus group listed in Table 1. Lanes M, 50-bp DNA size ladder; lane 1, SG-749 fragment; lanes A to K, AluI haplotypes (the capital letters refer to the haplotypes reported in Table 1). (B) AluI restriction pattern (haplotype K) of B. anthracis strains. Lanes M, 50-bp DNA size ladder; lanes 1 to 18, B. anthracis CEB 7700, 7702, 4229, 6602, Cepanzo, Davis TE702, 957, 227, 170, 300, 779, 832, 663, 376, 846, 256, 582, and 282; lane 19, SG-749 fragment.
