The analysis included 84 homokaryotic single spore isolates of 28 European strains, 13 heterokaryotic strains from North America, and the Rotstop strain used as a biocontrol agent against Heterobasidion annosum. Three different ITS-alleles (designated as ITS/A, ITS/B and ITS/C) were separable by the DGGE, two of them occurring both in Europe and North America. However, sequence determination of these allele types showed that while the ITS/A alleles were identical between Europe and North America, the ITS/C alleles contained differences. Analysis of molecular variation (AMOVA) and neighbor joining (NJ) clustering analysis using altogether 28 RAMS markers revealed a considerable degree of differentiation between the European and North American populations. The results show that recent human-mediated P. gigantea migration between the continents is unlikely and that strains should not be transferred between continents for biocontrol purposes in order to avoid the introduction of novel genotypes.} }
