Analyses of the 16S rRNA gene of Shewanella isolated from Baltic cod and GenBank sequences. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree was constructed with the Tamura–Nei model using 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together is shown next to the branches. O – reference sequence
