Figure 1.

Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of T. paurometabola relative to the other type strains within the genus Tsukamurella. The tree was inferred from 1,447 aligned characters [14,15] of the 16S rRNA gene sequence under the maximum likelihood criterion [16] and rooted with the members of the closely related genus Dietzia. The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Numbers above branches are support values from 1,000 bootstrap replicates [17] if larger than 60%. Lineages with type strain genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [18] are labeled with one asterisk, those registered as ‘Complete and Published’ with two asterisks.
