Abstract
Soluble proteins from the mycelia of 30 isolates of P. cinnamomi, collected from 17 different hosts and from widely separated geographic locations and of 5 isolates of P. cactorum, when fractionated by disc electrophoresis, yielded 22 and 26 bands with different densities. The 2 spp. differed markedly and each exhibited its distinct, characteristic protein pattern. With 1 exception, there was little or no variation in the protein patterns within the isolates of P. cinnamomi. Also, identical or nearly identical protein patterns of each species were obtained regardless of date of isolation, host, or geographic locality. No differences in protein patterns were seen between the mating types of P. cinnamomi.
