DnaK phylogenic tree for Lactobacillus plantarum group bacteria.
A) DnaK phylogenic tree. Reference sequences of L. plantarum subsp. plantarum, L. plantarum subsp.
argentoratensis, L. paraplantarum, L. pentosus, L. herbarum, and L. fabifermentans were obtained from GenBank.
L. casei was employed as outgroup species of L. plantarum. The accession numbers of the reference species are indicated in the figure. Bootstrap
values are recorded on the nodes. B) Alignment of partial dnaK gene sequences of L. plantarum subsp. plantarum JCM 1149T,
L. pentosus, and the isolates. The boxed bases indicate a single nucleotide polymorphism. *indicates that all bases are homology.
