  • Title: [Molecular phylogeny of representatives of Mycobacterium species based on structural analysis of hypervariable locus A of 16S ribosomal RNA gene].
    Author: Skrypnyk AV.
    Journal: Tsitol Genet; 2010; 44(3):9-15. PubMed ID: 20608154.
    Abstract:
    Phylogeny of 17 Mycobacterium species is analyzed. A phylogenetic tree constructed using the neighbour-joining method consists of three clades: fast growing, "thermotolerant" fast growing, and slow growing mycobacteria that reveal the genetic determination of the characteristics of growth speed and thermotolerance. On the contrary, the pigment formation which serves as the main criterion of mycobacteria classification according to Runyon does not reflect any phylogenetic interrelationships of mycobacteria.
