Figure 1. Phylogenetic analysis.
(a) Phylogenetic tree constructed using the Maximum Likelihood algorithm for the 16S rRNA gene sequences. Numbers above branches indicate bootstrap support. Sequence distances represent the number of substitutions per 1000 nucleotides. The following type strains sequences were used for comparison: B. pumilus (AY456263), B. safensis (AB681259), and B. altitudinis (AJ831842); B. licheniformis (EF433410) was used as an outgroup. (b) Fragments of the alignment containing marker substitutions. Numbers in the bottom line indicate their positions in the B. altitudinis sequence (AJ831842).
