Phylogenetic Analysis and Screening of Antimicrobial and Antiproliferative Activities of Culturable Bacteria Associated with the Ascidian Styela clava from the Yellow Sea, China

Figure 1

A neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showing the relationships of bacterial strains associated with the ascidian S. clava and related taxa. A total of 26 genera were isolated from the ascidian S. clava, and we chose one species from each genus. Bootstrap values (>50ā€Š%) based on 1,000 replicates are shown at branch nodes. Pyrococcus abyssi GE (L19921) was used as an outgroup. Bars represent 0.05 substitutions per nucleotide position.
