Abstract
The variations in the banding patterns indicated genomic variability among the twelve A. ferrooxidans strains tested. The primers used in this study grouped the twelve strains into five major groups. Similarities between the strains ranged from 5.49% to 85.14%. These results show that the strains have a high degree of genomic diversity and that the RAPD procedure is a powerful technique to assess strain variability in this bacterium.
