Phylogenetic tree showing the position of B. amyloliquefaciens UCMB5033 in relation to other species within the genus Bacillus. The tree is based on 16S rRNA gene sequences aligned with MUSCLE [4] was inferred under maximum likelihood criterion using MEGA5 [5] and rooted with Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius (a member of the family Bacillaceae). The numbers above the branches are support values from 1,000 bootstrap replicates if larger than 50% [6].
