Isolation of Actinomycetes with Cellulolytic and Antimicrobial Activities from Soils Collected from an Urban Green Space in the Philippines

Neighbor-joining tree of the genus Bacillus based on 1331 nucleotides of the 16s rRNA gene using the GTR + I + G model of DNA substitution. The tree is rooted on members of Paenibacillus, Brevibacillus, and Alicyclobacillus. Values on nodes represent percentage bootstraps out of 1000 bootstrap samples; values less than 50% are not shown. Scale bar represents five nucleotide substitutions for every one thousand nucleotides. The phylogenetic tree supports the BLAST identity of the isolates as they cluster with the Bacillus cereus- and Bacillus pseudomycoides-type strains.
