a Randomly linearized replicons were resolved by CHEF gel electrophoresis for 160h @ 2V/cm with ramping between 700 and 2800 sec. Replicons smaller than 0.5 Mb are not shown.
b Data accumulated by F. Yao and T.G. Lessie, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA (USA)
c All strains with specified genomovars were from the panel of isolates assembled by P. Vandamme (University of Ghent, Belgium) and E. Mahenthiralingam, D. Speert, and D. Henry (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada). Strain Bcf was from D. Roberts, USDA Lab, Beltsville, MD. Other strains are listed in Lessie et al. 1996. FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 144: 117-128.
