Phylogenetic tree showing the position of Leucobacter salsicius relative to the type strains of other species within the genus Leucobacter, using Glaciibacter superstes AHU1791T as the outgroup. The sequences were aligned using CLUSTALW [18] and the phylogenetic tree was inferred from 1,390 aligned characteristics of the 16S rRNA gene sequence using the maximum-likelihood (ML) algorithm [20] with MEGA5 [19]. The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. The numbers adjacent to the branches are the support values based on 1,000 ML bootstrap replicates [20] (left), 1,000 maximum-parsimony bootstrap replicates [21] (middle), and 1,000 neighbor-joining bootstrap replicates [22] (right), for values >50%.
