Species-specific PCR primers for Pythium developed from ribosomal ITS1 region [PDF]
Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2003 To develop a specific method for distinguishing and detecting Pythium species.Twenty PCR primers were designed from the sequences of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region from 34 Pythium species. The specificity of these forward primers paired with ITS2 or ITS4 and reverse universal primers was tested.
