Phylogenetic tree of Micromonospora sp. DSW705 and phylogenetically close type strains showing over 98.5 % similarity to strain DSW705 based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. The accession numbers for 16S rRNA genes are shown in parentheses. The tree was reconstructed by the neighbor-joining method [34] using sequences aligned by ClustalX2 [11]. All positions containing gaps were eliminated. The building of the tree also involves a bootstrapping process repeated 1,000 times to generate a majority consensus tree, and only bootstrap values above 50 % are shown at branching points. Actinoplanes teichomyceticus NBRC 13999^T was used as an outgroup. Bar, 0.005 K _nuc substitutions per nucleotide position
