From: Genome sequence of the Medicago-nodulating Ensifer meliloti commercial inoculant strain RRI128
Phylogenetic tree showing the relationship of Ensifer meliloti strain RRI128 (shown in bold) with some of the root nodule bacteria in the order Rhizobiales based on aligned sequences of the 16S rRNA gene (1,307 bp internal region). All sites were informative and there were no gap-containing sites. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using MEGA [27], version 5.05. The tree was built using the maximum likelihood method with the General Time Reversible model. Bootstrap analysis [28] with 500 replicates was performed to assess the support of the clusters. Type strains are indicated with a superscript T. Brackets after the strain name contain a DNA database accession number and/or a GOLD ID (beginning with the prefix G) for a sequencing project registered in GOLD [29]. Published genomes are indicated with an asterisk.
