Figure 4. Deposition of the uncultured Gordonia clone from the foam former in a phylogenetic tree of Gordonia, based on the near full-length 16S rRNA gene (approximately 1,200 bp).

The neighbor-joining method and Jukes-Cantor model were applied with 1,000 bootstrap replications. The sequences from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Rhodococcus rhodochrous DSM 43241 were set as out-groups during the tree construction in MEGA 5. Only the bootstrap values of more than 50% were shown. The scale bar represents 2% divergence.
