Bacillus Strains Most Closely Related to Bacillus nealsonii Are Not Effectively Circumscribed within the Taxonomic Species Definition

Figure 1

Phylogenetic relationship of strain CBD 118 with type strains of other Bacillus spp. and with strains from GenBank with highest similarities (accession numbers in parentheses). The Neighbor-Joining tree and subtree are based on approximately 1390 bp of the 16S rRNA gene. Numbers show the level of bootstrap support from 1000 repetitions with only those >750 shown. Bars, nucleotide substitutions per nucleotide.
