Abstract excerpt
Two distinct sequevars, denoted Pc1 and Pc2, of the opportunistic pathogen Pneumocystis carinii have been previously identified based on the sequence of their 26S rRNA genes, the location of group I self-splicing introns and pulsed field electrophoretic patterns of chromosomal DNA. This study shows that the sequences of 16S and 5.8S rRNA genes also vary between these sequevars, and that greater variation was seen...
