FIG. 3.
Phylogenetic tree showing the affiliations of 16S rDNA clone sequences to selected reference sequences of the δ subclass of Proteobacteria. The tree was calculated by neighbor-joining analysis and corrected with filters which considered only 50% conserved regions of the 16S rRNA of δ-Proteobacteria. 16S rDNA clone sequences are in boldface type. The bar represents 10% estimated sequence divergence.
