Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence of shortlisted antagonistic bacterial endophytes from pearl millet host and those of closely related type strain (T) sequences. The significance of each branch is indicated by a bootstrap value (%) estimated for 1000 subsets; only values above 50% are shown. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. Scale (bar) indicated 0.02 substitutions per site. The accession numbers of the strains are presented in parentheses. Bold accessions indicated the strains identified in the present study. Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM: 50090 was used as an outgroup
