Figure 1From: Evolutionary relationships of Fusobacterium nucleatum based on phylogenetic analysis and comparative genomicsPhylogenetic tree (Bayesian method) using the combined sequence of the 16S-23S rRNA of representative bacterial species. The Fusobacteria are a coherent and taxonomically independent group, that branches out at the base of the lineage leading to Firmicutes. Numbers represent bootstrap values. In the case of the branching of Fusobacteria/Firmicutes, the numbers represent the values obtained by four different methods: BA: Bayesian; NJ: Neighbor-joining; MP: Parsimony; ML: Maximum likelihood.Back to article page
