Figure 2.

Phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences of Kosakonia sacchari type strain SP1^T (●), the type strains of other species in the genus Kosakonia, and the type strain of Enterobacter cloacae. The sequences were aligned with the CLUSTAL W program and were constructed with the neighbor-joining algorithm integrated in the MEGA 5.0 program [5]. The phylogenetic tree was tested with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. Bootstrap values are shown at the nodes. The GenBank accession numbers of the sequences are indicated in parentheses. The scale bar represents a 0.1% nucleotide sequence divergence.
