Pulse field gel electrophoresis of “M. shinshuense” or M. ulcerans. Samples were loaded as follows: lane 1, ShT-N (ATCC 33728, non-pigmented colony); lane 2, ShT-P (ATCC 33728, pigmented colony); lane 3, Sh-753 (“M. shinshuense”, virulent); M, lambda PFG DNA size ladder. Arrow indicates the size of a giant plasmid, approximately 167 kbps.
