  1. * Organisms examined belong to Proteobacteria, Gram-positive low-G+C group, Basidiomycetes, Bryopsida, Monocotyle-donopsidae, Dicotyledoneae, Mammalia, Aves at the taxon level by class. The primers used were oligonucleotides : dAGAACGCGCCTG (pfM12) and dCAGGGCGCGTAC (pfM19)
  2. # The average PaSS value for non-related pairs of organisms had been statistically obtained to be 0.435 ± 0.091 (Ref. 13).
