The topology of the resultant phylogenetic trees was only marginally affected by the use of the different algorithms. Several outgroup strains were used to try and establish the position of the root in the mycolata evolutionary tree. Most of the outgroup strains gave estimates of root positions that proved to be inconsistent when the different tree-making algorithms were used. However it was possible to assign the test strains to two suprageneric lineages the members of which can be distinguished using chemical markers. The familyCorynebacteriaceae encompasses the generaCorynebacterium, Dietzia andTuricella and the familyMycobacteriaceae, the generaGordona, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Rhodococcus andTsukamurella. Nocardia pinensis formed a distinct clade that was most closely related to theGordona lineage. Emended descriptions are given of the two suprageneric taxa.
