Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of A. jilinensis strain Y1T relative to other type strains within the Amphibacillus genus and with the relative Halolactibacillus genus. The strains and their corresponding Genbank accession numbers are shown following the organism name and indicated in parentheses. Three strains have their corresponding NCBI genome project IDs and sequencing status [8,13] listed here: PRJNA42371 of A. xylanus DSM 6626T, complete; PRJNA171498 of A. jilinensis Y1T, Draft; PRJDB405 of A. sediminis Shu-P-Ggiii25-2T, in progress. The phylogenetic tree uses 16S rRNA gene sequences aligned by the CLUSTALW [14], and phylogenetic inferences were made using Neighbor-joining method based on Tamura-Nei model within the MEGA5 software [15]. Numbers at the branching nodes are percentages of bootstrap values based on 1,000 replications. The scale bar indicates a 1% substitution per nucleotide position. Bacillus subtilis DSM 10T was used as an outgroup.
