Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of representative Bacillus spp. The B. megaterium isolate obtained in the present study is indicated by a solid black circle before its name. Accession numbers are indicated after the respective Bacillus spp. names. Brevibacillus brevis was used as an outgroup. Numbers at nodes indicate bootstrap values (%) for 1,000 replicates. The scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
