Table 3 Posterior divergence time estimates. Divergence time estimates calculated under the setup described for Model 6 in Table 1. Node ID represents the node identification number as depicted in Fig. S2. Cal represents the calibration used. Posterior divergence time estimates (Mean Age) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are reported in Ma. This table represents our preferred model assumptions and results for bacterial divergence time estimates
