Phylogenetic tree depicting the relationship between Paenibacillus sp. strain A2 and other members of the genus Paenibacillus. The strains and their corresponding Genbank accession numbers are shown following the organism name and indicated in parentheses. The phylogenetic tree uses 16S rRNA gene sequences aligned by the CLUSTALW [7], and phylogenetic inferences were made using Neighbor-joining method based on Kimura 2-parameter model within the MEGA5 software [8] and rooted with Bacillus subtilis strain DSM10T (AJ276351). Bootstrap consensus trees were inferred from 100 replicates, only bootstrap values >50 % were indicated. The scale bar represents 0.01 nucleotide change per nucleotide position
