Mycobacterium nebraskense sp. nov., a novel slowly growing scotochromogenic species, by A. M. Mohamed, P. C. Iwen, S. Tarantolo and S. H. Hinrichs
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology vol. 54, part 6, pp. 2057 - 2060
Supplementary Fig. A. Alignment of hypervariable regions A and B of 16S rRNA gene sequences (a) and the hypervariable region of ITS1 (b) from selected slowly growing Mycobacterium species. Sequences of M. tuberculosis were used as the reference sequences. Positions are defined in reference to the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Escherichia coli. Only nucleotides that differ from M. tuberculosis are shown, while dashes indicate deletions. [PDF] (49 KB)
Supplementary Fig. B. Expanded phylogenetic tree of selected Mycobacterium species using the entire 16S rRNA gene sequence. The tree was constructed using the neighbour-joining method and rooted with Nocardia asteroides as an outgroup. GenBank accession numbers are shown in parentheses. [PDF] (17 KB)
