Figure 1. Sequence polymorphisms between the three hsp65 sequevars of M. massiliense.
Type I strains have the same sequence as the M. massiliense type strain; however, Type II-1 and Type II-2 strains differed from the M. massiliense type strain by 2-bp (T444A and C714A) and 1-bp (T444A), respectively. The nucleotide numbers correspond to those from the complete sequence of the heat shock protein 65 kDa (hsp65) gene of M. abscessuss ATCC 19977 (GenBank no. CU458896).
