Conditions for the PCR reaction were 40 cycles
of 94 °C for 30 s, 55 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 30 s. Amplicons were purified on a 2 %
agarose gel, cloned into plasmid vectors using TOPO TA (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and sent to an outside company (Elim Biopharmaceuticals, Hayward, CA) for Sanger sequencing in both directions using vector primers M13F and M13R.

Ten - microliter aliquots
of the nested PCR products were subjected to RFLP analysis by digestion with 2 U
of either HinfI or MseI, and digested fragments were resolved by
agarose gel electrophoresis in TBE buffer, as described elsewhere [19, 28].
The amplified DNA products were analyzed on a 1.0 %
agarose gel, and pieces
of gel containing the amplified DNA bands were excised and purified using a
gel extraction kit (Takara Bio).
Genomic DNA
of clones B31 - A3, ospC7, and ospC7 / ospC +4 was separated through
