FIGURE 5.

Phylogenetic families of RepC. The RepC proteins from complete Rhizobium genomes were identified by BLASTp and clustered by MCL to define the homologous groups. Phylogenies were constructed with the maximum likelihood method using the JTT matrix, and a bootstrap of n = 1000 replicates (see section “Materials and Methods”). Colors indicate the phylogenetic clades and their correspondence with the RepC-MCL clusters. They are also indicated by the text around the circle with the corresponding plasmid family.
