FIG. 4.

ClonalFrame phylogeny of L. monocytogenes strains used in this study. Values at each node of the dendrogram are the posterior probability values. The horizontal bar at the bottom represents the number of coalescent units. The heatmap on the right represents the growth rate and lag phase duration for each strain in BHI + 6% NaCl at 37°C, and highlights the significant association between genetic relatedness and growth phenotype under these conditions, as shown by similar parameter values for closely related strains.
