Figure 5From: Glutamine synthetase sequence evolution in the mycobacteria and their use as molecular markers for ActinobacteriaspeciationDendograms of aligned actinobacterial GSIβ (encoded by gln A1) and GSII (encoded by gln A2) sequences constructed using PAUP 4.0 with the GS sequence of Bifidobacterium longum as out-group (*). Percentage bootstrap support values are shown. The ratio of nonsynonymous (Ka) to synonymous mutations (Ks) in the GS sequences of the mycobacteria and C. diphteria were computed using the GS sequences in C. efficiens, and is shown between brackets.Back to article page
