1. Sequence of helix 18 of the 16S rRNA genes (corresponding to Escherichia coli positions 430 to 500) of different Mycobacterium species.
Sequence of helix 18 of the 16S rRNA genes (corresponding to Escherichia coli positions 430 to 500) of different Mycobacterium species. Sequences: 1, shared by all species of the M. simiae complex; 2, M. tuberculosis (representative of slowly growing species); 3, M. fortuitum (representative of rapidly growing species); 4, M. arupense (representative of the M. terrae complex). Dots indicate identities, and dashes indicate deletions.
