Phylogenetic Analysis of Xcc fliC Gene Products Predicts Two Distinct Families.

The nearest-neighbor tree was generated by PHYLIP using derived amino acid sequences for full-length flagellins from Xcc strains and the well-studied flagellins from P. aeruginosa and S. enterica serovar Typhimurium as outgroups. Horizontal branch lengths (also presented numerically to the right of each branch) represent bootstrap support values and indicate the number of times out of 1000 trials that the particular branch was predicted.
