Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate the inter-strain variation in (i) substrate utilization and (ii) the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern based on the distribution of an insertion element (IS1550) in Mycoplasma fermentans strains, and to establish any correlation between subgroups within the species and their source or habitat. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using a sensitive dynamic pH method, the pattern and...
