Characteristics of Protosteloid Amoeba SSU rRNA Gene Sequences.

SSU sequence length in base pairs (bp), %GC content, and within isolate sequence micro-heterogeneity. Organized by protostelid groups I-VII of Spiegel [2], parenthetical groups proposed in later papers [39], [57], or expected based on morphology. For sequence heterogeneity, ��none�� = PCR product sequenced and no heterogeneity found, ��not detected�� = 1�C3 clones sequenced and no sequence heterogeneity detected, type and number of sites exhibiting heterogeneity explicitly noted by standard IUPAC code (s = C or G, y = C or T, r = A or G, k = G or T, w = A or T, d = A or G or T), ��in PCR prod.�� = heterogeneity noted in PCR product, sequencing failed through regions of heterogeneity and multiple clones were sequenced individually.
