FIG 1.

Comparison between the maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees reconstructed on the 11 loci and on the 16S rRNA locus for the 18 Tenacibaculum type strains. (A) Concatenated MLSA tree; (B) 16S rRNA tree. The Kordia algicida type strain was included as an outgroup. Bootstrap supports estimated on 1,000 replicate data sets are reported above each internal node. Colors indicate the three clades identified based on high bootstrap support in the concatenated MLSA tree (I in red, II in green, and III in blue); the four isolated lineages that branch more deeply in the three are represented in gray. The same branch-length scale (measured in expected number of nucleotide substitutions per site) is used in both trees. The branch leading to K. algicida in the 16S rRNA tree has been shortened by a factor of 3 for the sake of representation.
