Explanation:
The identification is based primarily on the analysis of one or two regions of the ribosomal DNA: sequencing of the D1 / D2 domains of the 28S rRNA gene and / or of the ITS region (ITS1 and ITS2 intergenic spaces and that includes the 5.8S rRNA gene ). Its comparison with the sequences available in public databases allows the strains to be assigned to a specific species when the homology percentage of its sequences is greater than or equal to 99%.
