A clustering of strains which corresponded to Saprospira grandis, Flexibacter flexilis, Saprospira thermalis, Flexibacter giganteus and Flexibacter roseolus was observed from the computed data. High similarity values (> 80 %) were found for strains assigned to the genera Cytophaga, Flexibacter and Microscilla. ", }
