Molecular typing of Fusarium isolates. Molecular typing with (a) minisatellite probe {M13}, and (b) repeat DNA probe {GACA}4 showed distinct genotypes among Fusarium isolates. F. solani strain 24-06 genotype was easily separated from the other three strains (23-06, 237-06, and 238-06). F. solani from contact lens case (237-06) and from MoistureLoc solution (238-06) showed similar genotypes, by the two probes. In contrast, F. oxysporum strains 158-06 and 159-06 yielded two different genotypes. The control F. oxysporum (163-05, 974-05) and F. solani (1064-05) genotypes were distinct. The lane assignments for 163-05, 974-05, and 24-06 are different in panels (a) and (b).
