Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene of microbiota in triatomine guts. The 21 representative partial sequences identified as bacterial genes from gut microbiota of T. pseudomaculata (Tp) and T. brasiliensis (Tb) collected in peridomestic habitats (Russas, Ceará, Brazil) were compared with other partial sequences obtained from GenBank. Red diamonds represent sequences obtained from species with complete genomes. The percentages on branches are based on 1,000 bootstrap replicates.
