Figure 3

Phylogenetic relationships of the hyper-ammonia-producing bacteria (HAB) isolated from Nellore steers. The consensus tree, based on the neighbor-joining method, was constructed with 5000 repetitions using the program MEGA 4.0. Tree construction was based on 16S rRNA sequences of the HAB isolates, and included known HAB and other bacteria. The GenBank accession numbers of the bacterial strains are indicated in parentheses. Only branches with bootstrap values >70% are shown. The scale bar represents five nucleotide changes per 100 nucleotides analyzed.
