Figure 1
Neighbor-joining (NJ) tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showing the relationship between strain B3-10T and closely related species of family Chitinophagaceae. Bootstrap values > 50% are given at the nodes. Filled circles indicate nodes that were also recovered in the maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony algorithms. Open circles indicate nodes that were also found with the maximum-likelihood algorithm. Fodinibius salinus YIM D17T was used as an outgroup. Bar, 0.05 substitutions per nucleotide position.
