Figure 3
Phylogenetic tree of selected nine bacterial strains inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method. The optimal tree with the sum of branch lengths = 0.35042803 is shown. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. The evolutionary distances were computed using the Maximum Composite Likelihood method and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. This analysis involved 32 nucleotide sequences. All ambiguous positions were removed for each sequence pair (pairwise deletion option). There were a total of 1469 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA X The red colored names are the strains isolated from the rhizosphere of C. quinoa in this experiment.
