Table 2 Bacterial species that are indistinguishable using various instruments.
From: Melting temperature mapping method using imperfect-match linear long probes
Tube to tube variation of the instrument | The measurement error of Difference Value (D) | Indistinguishable bacterial species registered in the database, which cannot be narrowed down to one species |
