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. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-58-2-207
