Molecular phylogenetic analysis by the maximum likelihood method. The evolutionary history was inferred using the maximum likelihood method based on the JTT matrix-based model. The tree with the highest log likelihood is shown. Initial tree(s) for the heuristic search were obtained automatically by applying Neighbour-Joining and BioNJ algorithms to a matrix of pairwise distances estimated using a JTT model and then selecting the topology with a superior log likelihood value. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured as the number of substitutions per site. The analysis involved 54 sequences. To avoid ethical issues, all schools are represented by codes consisting of abbreviations of the full school names.
