Phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences of isolate CIBU090024 and representative Corynebacterium and Mycobacterium species, constructed using the neighbour-joining method. Bootstrap values >50% (based on 1000 replicates) are given at branching points. GenBank accession numbers are given in parentheses. All sequences come from type strains. Turicella otitidis DSM 8 8 2 1 T was used as an outgroup.
