摘要
Contour-clamped homogeneous electric field gel electrophoresis was used to separate chromosome-sized DNA from two strains each of Encephalitozoon hellem and Encephalitozoon intestinalis isolated in vitro from AIDS patients. The two isolates ofE. hellem differed significantly in molecular karyotype(EhD with 8 bands from 207 to 281 kb, and EhC with 12 bands from 175 to 315 kb), indicating a marked genetic polymorphism. The two E. intestinalis isolates displayed the same molecular karyotype with 10 bands comprised of between 182 and 279 kb. Of microsporidia so far investigated, species of Encephalitozoon have the smallest nuclear genomes (2.3-2.9 Mb).
