Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree generated by analysing near complete 16S rRNA gene sequences of <i>Bacillus</i> sp. HS24 and strains of closely related <i>Bacillus</i> species.

<p>Accession numbers are in parentheses. The tree was constructed using maximum composite likelihood and pairwise deletion. Percentage bootstrap values (>50% only) from 1000 re-samplings are indicated at each node. Bar, 5% estimated sequence divergence.
