Figure 3.
Phylogenetic tree using the maximum-likelihood (ML) algorithm constructed based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showing the relationship between Mameliella strains and other representative type species in the family Rhodobacteraceae. Bootstrap values (≥50%) based on 1000 replications are shown at the branch points. The five selected M. alba strains isolated from marine algae are marked in green. Rhodococcus imtechensis RKJ300T (AY525785) was used as an outgroup. Bar, 0.02 substitutions per site.
