Endophytic Actinomycetes from Tea Plants (Camellia sinensis): Isolation, Abundance, Antimicrobial, and Plant-Growth-Promoting Activities

Figure 2

16S rRNA-based phylogenetic tree of endophytic actinobacterial isolates from tea plants, rooted with E. coli K-12. The alignment of nearly complete 16S rRNA sequences had 1,414 unambiguously aligned nucleotide positions. Bootstrap values greater than 70% are shown on the nodes and are based on 1,000 replicates. Sequences of closest type strains were retrieved from the EzTaxon server. The scale bar represents 0.05 substitutions per site. The isolates recovered from the current study are highlighted in red.
