Figure S1 Aligned DNA sequence. Screen print showing the
aligned DNA sequences of only ITS sequence type Y in Ceratocystis
manginecans isolates CMW 13581, 13584, 23641 and 23643.
Figure S2 Aligned DNA sequence. Screen print of aligned
DNA sequences showing the differences in the sequences of the
two ITS sequence types (Z and Y) in Ceratocystis manginecans CMW
17568.
Figure S3 Hypothetical rRNA cistron showing meiotic
and mitotic divisions. Illustration of a hypothetical situation
for Ceratocystis manginecans where we assume that its rRNA cistron
has 600 copies undergoing meiotic and mitotic divisions. In this
example, under meiotic conditions each division represents either
an increase or a decrease in the ITS sequence types. Figure S3A
depicts a restricted cistron size scenario whilst Figure S3B has no
size restriction.
Table S1 Summary of the observed ITS sequence types
from 60 cloned amplicons across all test replicas for
both meiosis and mitosis based on five sequential
rounds of either mitotic transfers or sexual crosses for
each isolateb.
