  1. OUT numbers were obtained by comparison of HinfI-digested fingerprint patterns;
  2. species numbers were obtained by 16S rRNA gene sequencing combined with biochemical and morphological properties.
  3. 1Means within columns followed by different letters are significantly different (Duncan’s test, p < 0.05).
