Phylogenetic trees depicting the phylogenetic position of <i>Ochrobactrum</i> sp. A44^T strain among other members of the <i>Ochrobactrum</i> genus.

(A) Molecular phylogenetic analysis of partial (1335 bp) 16S rRNA gene sequences by the maximum likelihood method based on the Tamura 3-parameter model. Analyses were conducted in MEGA7. The tree with the highest log likelihood (-3900.57) is shown. The percentage of trees in which the associated taxa clustered together is shown next to the branches. (B) Dendrogram based on MLSA performed on concatenated nucleotide sequences of three genes: 16S rRNA gene (1335 bp), groEL (1165 bp), and gyrB (1012 bp). The tree was obtained using the neighbor-joining algorithm. Bootstrap values based on 1000 replicates are shown at the nodes. Bradyrhizobium japonicum ATCC 10324T was used as an outgroup. Bar indicates number of substitutions per site. Accession numbers of gene sequences are shown in brackets.
