  1. * Aspergillus fumisynnematus may also present these β-tubulin polymorphisms but very few sequences are still available.
  2. # Nomenclature: T24 - a thymine is present in position 24; DelG93 - deletion of the guanine in position 93; InsA87 - insertion of an adenine in position 87; A105G - replacement of an adenine by a guanine in position 105. The position numbers result from the gene alignment (Figures 2 and 3) and position 1 is located in the beginning of forward primer. (NI - not enought information, only one sequence was available).
