Multiple sequence alignment and analysis of the data were
performed using the software package MEGA (Molecular
Evolutionary Genetics Analysis) version 4 (Tamura et al.,
2007). Genetic distances were calculated using the Kimura-
2 model. Clustering by using the neighbour-joining (Fig. 1)
and maximum-parsimony (results not shown) methods
were performed after bootstrap analysis based on 1000
replications. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 02-Je-
010T was a continuous stretch of 1415 bp.
