    Fig. 2.

    Unrooted tree showing the phylogenetic relationships of G. bergeriae sp. nov. and some other low-G+C-content gram-positive bacteria. The tree, constructed by the neighbor-joining method, was based on a comparison of approximately 1,320 nucleotides. Bootstrap values, each expressed as a percentage of 500 replications, are given at branching points. Asterisks indicate sequences from the Institute of Food Research database. The specific epithet of Alloiococcus otitis is now A. otitidis.
