NJ phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showing the taxonomical positions of Pantoea septica strains OOWS-10 and OOYS-10 (a) and Stenotrophomonas spp. OOOW-2 and OOOW-9 (b) with respect to their closely related reference strains. Bootstrap values (expressed as percentages of 1000 replicates) of ≥ 50% are shown at branch points. Filled circle, filled square, star indicate that the corresponding nodes were also recovered in trees constructed using MP, ML, and both algorithms, respectively. Pseudomonas aeruginosa DSM 50071^T was used as an outgroup. Bar, 0.01 substitutions per nucleotide position
