Figures

FIG. 1.
FIG. 1.
Neighbor-joining tree (82) based on nearly complete 16S rDNA sequences of gordoniae and representatives of other mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes, including members of the genera Corynebacterium, Dietzia, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Rhodococcus, Skermania, Tsukamurella, and Williamsia. Numbers at nodes indicate the level of bootstrap support based on a neighbor-joining analysis of 1,000 resampled data sets; only values above 50% are given. Bar, 0.01 substitution per nucleotide position.
FIG. 2.
FIG. 2.
Comparison of the two major hypervariable regions of the 16S rDNA sequences of the type strains of all Gordonia species by multiple alignment. Highlighted nucleotide positions have at least 70% identical nucleotides. Nucleotide positions are given according to the numbering of the Escherichia coli K-12 16S rDNA sequence.
FIG. 3.
FIG. 3.
Tn5096-induced mutants of G. polyisoprenivorans DSM 44266 with modified carotenoid biosynthesis. Mutants 44-07 and 49-05 were defective in carotenoid synthesis; mutants 33-45 and 38-33 exhibited a coloration slightly different from that of the wild type; and mutant 47-46 obviously overproduced a red carotenoid.
