FIG. 3.
Comparison of H. cinaedi 16S rRNA gene sequences with the sequence for the type strain (M88150), showing only polymorphic sites and those sites where gaps (−) were introduced during alignment. X81028 represents a previously published sequence for strain R-927 (13). The numbers (in vertical format) above the sequences correspond to the nucleotide numbering of the M88150 sequence, including three alignment gaps. Bases identical to the M88150 sequence are represented by periods.
