Figure 4. Phylogeny of Gammaproteobacteria-associated 16 S rRNA gene sequences derived from kakapo.

16 S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis of Gammaproteobacteria found within kakapo samples. Solid junctions represent >90% bootstrap support, and hollow junctions >75%. Kakapo-derived sequences are bolded. Dashed lines indicate sequence length <1200 bp. Branch lengths were calculated using the maximum-likelihood method RAxML, using sequences >1200 bp in length, and short sequences were added subsequently using the Parsimony Interactive tool in ARB. Bootstrap values were calculated using maximum parsimony with 5000 resamplings. Scale bar, 10% sequence divergence.
