FIG 1
Phylogenetic trees showing the relationship of type and reference strains of Tsukamurella species, inferred from partial secA (A) and groEL (B) sequence data (there are 607 and 677 nucleotide positions of the trimmed sequence alignments, respectively) by the maximum-likelihood method using the model GTR + I + G and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (NC_000962.3) as the outgroup. The scale bar indicates the estimated number of substitutions per base. Numbers at the nodes indicate levels of bootstrap support calculated from 1,000 trees. Problematic species assignments are highlighted in red. The asterisk indicates the species, originally named Tsukamurella sunchonensis, that has been reclassified as T. pseudospumae. The new name has been validated, and the change is included in the January 2017 list.
