Table 2 Intraspecific sequence similarities of selected Vibrio and Aspergillus species

Species	Number of strains	max. point mutations	Similarity [%]
V. alginolyticus	8	1	98.7–100.0
V. parahaemolyticus	46	1	98.7–100.0
V. vulnificus	7	4	94.7–100.0
A. fumigatus	8	0	100.0
A. niger	7	0	100.0
A. terreus	3	0	100.0

DNA sequences of the flexible loop region from different strains were aligned and point mutations were identified, focusing on the strains with the least and the most mutations. The intraspecific similarity was calculated relative to the length of the respective loop sequence (63 and 75 bp, respectively)
