Supplementary Figure. Extended phylogenetic tree based on 16S rDNA sequences showing the position of the novel species. Nucleotide sequences of 16S rRNA genes obtained in this research and from the database were aligned, sequence similarities were calculated and a phylogenetic tree generated, bootstrapped with 1000 subsamples and visualized as described in Methods.
