Fig 2. Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of S. marcescens RSC-14 with other closely related species within the genus of Serratia.

Fig 2

The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on concatenated sequences of 16S rRNA, gyrB, and rpoB genes aligned in ClustalW2 using the neighbor-joining algorithm in CLC Main Workbench and rooted with Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. laumondii TTO1. All Serratia species clustered together and were distinct from other Enterobacteriaceae. The tree also highlights the close relationship of S. marcescens RSC-14 strain with the S. marcescens type strain WW4.
