Fig. 3: Evolutionary relationship between L. salsilacus and other representative RGB.

a Phylogenetic tree based on the concatenation of 12 housekeeping genes (dnaG, frr, infC, nusA, pgk, pyrG, rplC, rpmA, rpoB, rpsC, smpB, and tsf). Bootstrap values generated by 1000 bootstraps were labeled at nodes (white, ≥35%; gray, ≥50%; black, ≥75%). b Pairwise comparisons between L. salsilacus and closely related strains to reveal average nucleotide identity (ANI) values. ANI values were labeled in corresponding cells of the heatmap, and phylogenetic distances were calculated by a complete clustering algorithm based on Euclidean geometry.
