Figure 2. Novel Bacterium Groups in the Family Acetobacteraceae.

Figure 2

(A) Phylogenetic tree derived from the 16S rDNA sequence of the patient isolate, two Gluconacetobacter spp, two Acetobacter spp., and other gram-negative rods associated with CGD (S. marcescens, B. cepacia) and not associated with CGD (Escherichia coli). This unrooted radial tree shows the patient isolate emerging as an independent branch that clustered together with members of the family Acetobacteraceae. The scale bar represents the number of substitutions per site.

(B) Percentage of similarity of 16S rDNA sequences of the patient isolate, two Gluconacetobacter spp., two Acetobacter spp., and the gram-negative rods shown in (A).
