FIG. 1.

Phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA sequences (>1,460 bp) of four recently isolated tannin-tolerant streptococci (KN1, KN2, KN3, and TW1), the sequences of some of their close relatives, and sequences obtained from the RDP (27). Lactococcus garviaea was used as the outgroup in this analysis. Branching distances were computed by using DNADIST and FITCH in PHYLIP (12). Scale bar = 1 inferred nucleotide substitution per 100 nucleotides.
