Figure 12. Phylogenetic position of the aphid RlpA proteins.

A total of 88 aligned amino acid sites were subjected to the analysis. A Bayesian tree is shown; the ML tree and NJ tree exhibited substantially the same topologies. On each node, support values over 50 are shown (BI/ML/NJ). Asterisks (*) indicate support values lower than 50. Taxonomic positions (bacterial taxonomy unless otherwise stated) are shown in brackets.α, β, γ, and ε classes indicate proteobacterial classes. Accessions of the sequences are shown in parentheses. Scale bar indicates substitutions per site. The aphid clade and Enterobacteriaceae clade are shown in red and blue, respectively.
