FIG. 1.

Example of ITS-PCR fingerprinting patterns of B. anthracis strains resolved by agarose (A), polyacrylamide (B), and MDE (C) gel electrophoresis, showing the migration shifts of some amplified products. Lanes M, 50-bp ladder. (A) Lanes 1 to 9, B. anthracis strains 256, 282, 582, 846, 7700, 7702, Cepanzo, 4229, and Davis TE702, respectively. (B) Lanes 1 to 3, B. anthracis strains Davis TE702, 282, and Cepanzo, respectively. (C) Lanes 1 to 4, B. anthracis strains 7700, 7702, Davis TE702, and 256, respectively. The 250-bp band of the ladder is indicated. Arrows indicate bands that showed different mobilities among agarose, polyacrylamide, and MDE gel electrophoresis assays.
