Phylogenetic tree of bovine GI tract treponemes based on an alignment of 16S rRNA gene sequences for comparison with bovine treponemes. The phylogenetic tree was based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons over 1,320 aligned bases showing the relationship between strains isolated here (boldface type) and other relevant bovine treponeme 16S rRNA gene sequences. Bootstrap confidence levels are shown as percentages of nodes, and only values above 40% are shown. GenBank accession numbers are shown in parentheses next to each strain or 16S rRNA gene fragment clone. *, previously reported 16S rRNA gene sequences from BDD lesions.
