Figure 1

Maximum likelihood-based trees reflecting the phylogeny and diversity of the isolated nine species capable of SMX biodegradation based on nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons. Phylogenetic tree calculated for A) Pseudomonas spp., Variovorax spp. and Brevundimonas spp. and B) for Microbacterium spp.. The tree shows the sequences obtained in this study (bold text) and their next published relatives according to the NCBI database (plain text). Numbers preceding taxonomic names represent EMBL sequence accession numbers. Scale bar indicates 0.01% estimated sequence divergence.
