Bacterial species isolated from probiotic products after incubation on blood agar for 24 h at 30°C and subsequent identification by 16S rRNA analysis and their susceptibility to antimicrobials.

Fig 1.
Neighbour joining phylogenetic tree of the 16S rRNA gene sequences representing Bacillus spp. isolated from probiotic products.
Type strains of Bacillus species are labeled with accession number and strain number. Strains with identical sequences are included in parenthesis after the strain selected as reference. Strains with sequences shorter than 1 kb were excluded from phylogenetic analysis and their identity only determined by similarity comparison to type strain. The scale bar represents sequence variation considering the model for nucleotide substitution (Jukes & Cantor) and tree-shape used in the neighbour joining analysis. * Strains are with too short sequences to compare.
