We determined the nucleotide sequence of a 16S rRNA gene of Rhodococcus chlorophenolicus PCP-I(T) (= DSM 43826T) (T = type strain). Sequence comparisons revealed that there was a close relationship between strain PCP-I(T) and strains belonging to the genus Mycobacterium. The sequence data were used to construct a phylogenetic tree, which showed that Mycobacterium chubuense is the closest relative of strain PCP-I(T). We propose that strain PCP-I(T) should be transferred to the genus Mycobacterium and renamed Mycobacterium chlorophenolicum PCP-I(T) comb. nov.
我们测定了嗜氯红球菌PCP-I(T)（= DSM 43826T）（T = 模式菌株）16S rRNA基因的核苷酸序列。序列比较显示，PCP-I(T)菌株与分枝杆菌属的菌株之间存在密切关系。该序列数据用于构建系统发育树，结果表明中部分枝杆菌是PCP-I(T)菌株的最亲近亲缘种。我们建议将PCP-I(T)菌株转移至分枝杆菌属，并重新命名为嗜氯分枝杆菌PCP-I(T) 新组合。
