Phylogenetic tree highlighting position of Paenibacillus dakarensis sp. nov. strain FF9^T relative to other type strains within Paenibacillus genus. Sequences were aligned using Clustal W, and phylogenetic inferences were obtained using maximum-likelihood method within MEGA 6. Numbers at nodes are percentages of bootstrap values obtained by repeating 1000 times analysis to generate majority consensus tree. Brevibacillus limnophilus strain was used as outgroup. Scale bar = 10% nucleotide sequence divergence.
