The primers’ design specific to <i>M</i>. <i>mycetomatis</i> (primer PM) or <i>M</i>. <i>fahalii</i> (primer PF).

Abstract

The rDNA sequence of M. mycetomatis (A) or M. fahalii (B) was aligned with that of M. pseudomycetomatis (accession no. EU815933.1), and arrows represented the primer positions. The matched nucleotide position was represented using dot signs, while the gap and mismatch positions using corresponding substitution ones. The species name and the number of first nucleotide were represented at each line using the following abbreviations: MM, M. mycetomatis; MP, M. pseudomycetomatis; MF, M. fahalii. The nucleotide alignment and illustration were performed using Genetyx Ver. 14 (Genetyx Co., Tokyo, Japan) with its default parameters.</p
