The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions 1 and 2, including 5.8S rDNA were
separately amplified in a 25 mL reaction on a GeneAmp 9700 thermal cycler (Applied
Biosystems) under these reaction conditions: 1 mL of template DNA extraction, 0.2 mM
dNTP, 0.2 mL of FastTaq (Applied Biosystems), 0.2 mM each of primers, 2.5 mL of the
supplied 103 PCR buffer with MgCl2, and sterile water to bring the volume to 25 mL
