PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene and phylogenetic
analysis were performed as described previouslyPhylogenetic trees were generated by the neighbourjoining maximum-parsimonyand maximum-likelihood
Sequence distances were calculated according to the F84 model
Bootstrap analysis evaluating
the stability of the trees was performed by using a consensus tree based on 1000 randomly generated trees.
