Neighbor-joining tree based on amino acid sequences of the partial subtilisin-like protease gene from different Metarhizium species, illustrating the relationship with the M. pingshaense strain IISR-EPF-14 protease gene. Numbers above or below the nodes represent bootstrap values generated from 1000 replications using the Dayhoff plus Gamma (G) model, based on the lowest Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) scores in MEGA X. Pochonia chlamydosporia was used as the outgroup.
