Phylogenetic trees highlighting the position of Parabacteroides pacaensis sp. nov. and Parabacteroides provencensis sp. nov. based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences relative to the most closely related type strains within the genus Parabacteroides GenBank accession numbers are indicated in parentheses. Sequences were aligned using MUSCLE with default parameters, phylogenetic inference was obtained using the Maximum likelihood method and the MEGA 7 software. Numbers at the nodes are percentages of bootstrap values obtained by repeating the analysis 1000 times to generate a majority consensus tree. The scale bar indicates a 5% nucleotide sequence divergence.
