Standard error is shown in parentheses.
a
Refers to a fragment of 16S-rRNA that exists in all compared sequences of Table 1 (see also alignment in supplemental materials).
b
Refers to the part of 16S-rRNA preceding the M-like CR of F-tr (region I, Figure 2).
c
Refers to the part of 16S-rRNA between the M-like and F-like CR of F-tr (region III, Figure 2).
