Phylogenetic tree of sea-positive isolate, its nearest relatives, and select outgroups. PAUP* was used to generate a consensus phylogenetic tree. Maximum Likelihood (ML) analysis was performed using 100 replicates with 10 random addition sequences searches per replicate. Maximum Parsimony (MP) analysis was performed using searches on 100 bootstrap replicated datasets with 10 search replicates. The Neighbor-joining (NJ) bootstrap analysis was performed with 1000 replicates. The (ML bootstrap)/(MP bootstrap/NJ bootstrap) values are as indicated. The sea-positive isolate is highlighted in bold and GenBank Accession numbers of each organism are in parentheses.
