Molecular phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood method of representatives of genus Bacillus andreraoultii SIT1^T inferred from 16S rRNA gene sequence. Tree with highest log likelihood (−2930.4905) is shown. Percentage of trees in which associated taxa clustered together is shown next to branches. Initial trees for heuristic search were obtained automatically by applying neighbour-joining and BioNJ algorithms to matrix of pairwise distances estimated using JTT model, then selecting topology with superior log likelihood value. Tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in number of substitutions per site. Analysis involved 14 amino acid sequences. There 155 positions in final data set. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA5.
