Abstract
A probe, a set of probes, and a probe carrier on which the probe or the set of probes is immobilized, are provided for classification of fungus species. The probe or the set of probes is capable of collectively detecting fungus of the same species and distinguishingly detecting those fungus from fungus of other species. The probe is an oligonucleotide probe for detecting a pathogenic fungus DNA and includes at least one of base sequences of SEQ ID NOS. 1 to 2 and mutated sequences thereof.

8. A method of specifically detecting a DNA of Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii which is a pathogenic fungus, comprising:
-
(i) reacting a sample with a probe carrier comprising at least two of the following probes (A) to (H), which are immobilized on a carrier as arranged at intervals, under stringent conditions; and (ii) detecting a reaction intensity of each probe on the probe carrier reacted with a nucleic acid contained in the sample to detect the DNA of Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii that reacts with all of the at least two probes; (A) a probe consisting essentially of a base sequence represented by tctctttagtggctcaacgctgga (SEQ ID NO.
1);(B) a probe consisting essentially of a base sequence represented by ggacagacgcaaaaaaattctttcagaag (SEQ ID NO.
2);(C) a probe consisting essentially of a complementary sequence of SEQ ID NO. 1; (D) a probe consisting essentially of a complementary sequence of SEQ ID NO. 2; (E) a probe consisting essentially of a mutated sequence obtained by deletion, substitution or addition of a base on SEQ ID NO. 1 within a range that the mutated sequence retains a function as a probe for detecting a DNA of Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii;
(F) a probe consisting essentially of a mutated sequence obtained by deletion, substitution or addition of a base on SEQ ID NO. 2 within a range that the mutated sequence retains the function as a probe for detecting a DNA of Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii;
(G) a probe consisting essentially of a mutated sequence obtained by deletion, substitution or addition of a base on the complementary sequence of SEQ ID NO. 1 within a range that the mutated sequence retains the function as a probe for detecting a DNA of Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii;
(H) a probe consisting essentially of a mutated sequence obtained by deletion, substitution or addition of a base on the complementary sequence of SEQ ID NO. 2 within a range that the mutated sequence retains the function as a probe for detecting a DNA of Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
