Of the 5 RAPD primers used OPD-08 showed 100% polymorphism. All the isolates exhibited over all polymorphism of about 89.29%. The similarity degree value ranged from 0.02 to 0.57. Isolates BLS-5 and BLS-10 were found closely related with high SD value (0.57) followed by BLS-7, BLS-10 (0.53) and BLS-5, BLS-9 (0.52) whereas least similarity was observed between BLS-4 and BLS-12 (0.02) followed by BLS-4, BLS-5 (0.08) and BLS-3, BLS-11 (0.09).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
