Fig. 1: Isolation and phylogenetic comparison of bacterial isolates.

Phylogenetic tree of 32 bacterial isolates based on 16S rRNA nucleotide sequences following maximum composite likelihood method by the MEGA11 software. The numbers next to the branches indicate percentage values for 1000 bootstrap replicates. Bootstrap values above 50% are shown at the nodes. The isolates were categorised into 5 clusters indicated by colour shading.
