Phylogenetic analyses of fluorescent pseudomonads based on the nucleotide sequence of <i>16S rRNA</i>.

<p>The multiple sequence alignment was done in CLUSTALW program embedded in MEGA version 5.10. The pair-wise evolutionary distances were calculated using Kimura-2 parameter model. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by Neighbor-Joining (NJ) method with 1000 replicates using bootstrap. A total of 5 reference fluorescent pseudomonad strains were used for the tree construction. Bar, .0.005 shows the substitutions per nucleotide position.
