Fig. 10:10. Phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, which illustrates the relations between members of the phylum Actinobacteria. All taxa in the tree belong to this phylum except Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens, which constitute the outgroup and belong to the phylum Firmicutes. Crossiella equi has been placed within the order Pseudonocardiales although it is more closely related to the genera Rhodococcus and Nocardia. The three orders of phylum Actinobacteria, which are represented in VetBact are indicated by vertical bars. Names of taxa in blue are included in VetBact and taxa in bold are included in this bacterial page. Rhodococcus equi is now called Rhodococcus hoagii.
The tree was generated on line by using the computer program "Tree Builder" at the website of RDP. (T) means type strain. Date: 2017-02-01.
