Phylogenetic dendrogram inferred from the 16S rRNA gene sequences showing the relationships between Paenibacillus polymyxa strain APEC128 (APEC128) and related Paenibacillus species. Bootstrap values (expressed as percentages of 1,000 replications) greater than 50% are shown at branch points and the species names are preceded by the National Center for Biotechnology Information GenBank accession numbers. Phylogenetic tree was generated using maximum parsimony implemented in MEGA 4.0 program. The scale bar indicates 0.02 substitutions per nucleotide position.
