16S rRNA gene phylogenetic tree of microorganisms whose genomes were compared in this study. Phylogeny was inferred using a maximum likelihood method. Bootstrap values (> 70%) are displayed as black circles on the middle of the branches. Colour annotations represent the different Flavobacteriaceae clades. Sequences belonging to Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria were used as outgroups. Names in bold indicate sequences generated in the current study. The scale bar indicates 0.1 substitutions per site
