Phylogenetic analysis of antagonistic bacteria isolated from P. harmala on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences obtained from antagonistic bacteria and closely related sequences of the type strains representative of other species of genera. The phylogenetic relationships among taxa were inferred from the 16S rRNA gene by using the neighbor-joining method from distances computed with the Jukes–Cantor algorithm. Bootstrap values of >50% (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. GenBank accession numbers for each sequence are shown in parentheses. Bar, 0.01 accumulated changes per nucleotide.
