Abstract excerpt

A total of 153 Aeromonas strains were analyzed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. All 11 genetic loci were polymorphic with three to 14 alleles per locus (average 6.55). The genetic diversity of each locus varied between 0.095 for indophenol oxidase and 0.881 for the fast variety of malic enzy...
