Fig 1. Dendrogram displaying the phylogenetic relationship between Penicillium citrinum strain castor and other Penicillium strains.

Relatedness was inferred using the Maximum Likelihood method and 1000 bootstrap replicates were performed. Next to each branch, the percentage of trees with the associated taxa is shown. The scale represents 0.01 substitutions per site. Aspergillus terreus strain QTYC38 was chosen as an outgroup. The strain identified in this study is in bold and GenBank accession numbers are in brackets next to the strain names.
