FIG. 3.

Phylogenetic tree of the combined rpoB+recA gene sequences of “M. massiliense” and 17 RGM prepared by using the neighbor-joining method and Kimura's two-parameter distance correction model. The support of each branch, as determined from 1,000 bootstrap samples, is indicated by the value at each node (as a percentage). M. tuberculosis and M. leprae were used as the outgroups. The scale bar represents a 2% difference in nucleotide sequences.
