Phylogenetic tree based on the Kimura 2-parameter neighbor-joining model and 16S rRNA sequences (ca. 1,300 nt) of the type strains. Bootstrap values were obtained after 500 repetitions.
Dendrogram of the fluorescent AFLP patterns of 506 Vibrionaceae strains. A band-based (Dice) cluster analysis (Ward) was used. The threshold for cluster delineation was 45%. Adapted from Thompson et al. (2001a).
Phylogenetic tree based on the Kimura 2-parameter neighbor-joining model. Bootstrap values were obtained after 500 repetitions. Concatenated sequences (3,284 nt) of the genes 16S rRNA (1,300 nt), recA (613 nt), rpoA (928 nt), and pyrH (443 nt). The type strains of 64 species were included in the tree.
Congruence among rpoA, 16S rRNA, atpA, pyrH, and recA loci. Pearson correlation values are shown.
Splits tree (Fit = 100) based on rpoA gene sequences of selected strains that showed evidence of recombination by Sawyer’s, maximum chi2, or homoplasy tests. V. alginolyticus LMG 4409T, V. cholerae R-20544 and R-18303, and V. tasmaniensis LMG 20012T recombined with one another according to Sawyer’s test (SSCF; P < 0.01).
