Figure 3. Concatenated split network tree based on six genes loci. The gyrA, gyrB, infB, recN, rpoA, and topA gene sequences from 66 Shewanella species were concatenated and reconstructed using SplitsTree program (version: 4.14.4), based on Jukes-Cantor model.

Figure 4. Colony morphology of Shewanella strains on different plates. Figure 4a, 4b, 4c and d showed the colonies on marine agar 2216, nutrient agar, TCBS and MacConkey agar, respectively, after incubating at 37 °C for 18–24 h. Figure e and f represent the growth of S. algae JCM 21037T and S. putrefaciens ATCC 8071T on sheep blood agar, after incubating at 37 °C for 72 h, respectively.
