The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the alignment of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of BAC1 (OR852740.1), BAC2 (OR852741.1), and BAC3 (OR852742.1) with other bacterial accessions available in GenBank. The tree was constructed using neighbor-joining (NJ) in CLC Main Workbench V8.1.3 (QIAGEN, Germany). The numerical values at the branch nodes indicate the bootstrap values.
