Figures & data

Figure 1. Phylogenetic analysis of the Streptococcus mitis group. The neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on partial 16S rRNA gene sequences (>1300 bp) shows the relationships among S. tigurinus strain AZ_3aT and related species within the S. mitis group. Bootstrap percentages (based on 1000 replications) > 50% are shown at branching points. Published sequences used were from the public GenBank database. Bar, 0.01 substitutions per nucleotide position.
