Phylogenetic dendrogram of bacterial species. Evolutionary neighbour-joining phylogenetic dendrogram of the 16S rRNA partial sequencing data derived from bacteria found in the shelf life experiment of cod loins. The sequence data generated from the samples was analysed and blasted on the NCBI server. The closest relative was used for construction of the dendrogram. The tree is composed of 668 bp fragments of the 16S rRNA gene and from 821 underlying sequences which were clustered in one group if the similarity was greater or equal to 98%. Thermococcus onnurineus was used as an outgroup. The vertical bar on the right separates the different phylogenetic classes. A: Bacteroidetes, B: Alphaproteobacteria, C: Betaproteobacteria, D: Gammaproteobacteria.
