Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of Flavobacterium seoulense EM 1321^T relative to the type strains of other species within the genus Flavobacterium . The strains and their corresponding GenBank accession numbers of 16S rRNA genes are indicated in parentheses. The sequences were aligned using jPHYDIT and the phylogenetic inferences were obtained using neighbour-joining method with MEGA version 5 [13]. The numbers at nodes are the percentage of bootstrap values obtained by 1,000 replicates. Solid circles indicate that the corresponding nodes were also recovered in maximum-likelihood tree. Bar, 0.01 substitutions per nucleotide position.
