Phylogenetic tree showing the relative position of representative bacteria strains isolated from spoilage Paocai samples based on the 16S rDNA sequences. Bootstrap values (1,000 replicates) are indicated at branch nodes. C. bowmanii was used as an out‐group. B. = Bacillus; S. = Streptococcus; C. = Clostridium; Knuc = nucleotide substitution rate
