Figure 1. Phylogenetic Tree of Malassezia-like sequences derived from environmental DNA sequences and isolates.
Tree topology was inferred using the best of 1,000 bootstrap replicates of a Maximum Likelihood tree building algorithm (RAxML). Bootstrap support values >50% are indicated. Organism origin is indicated by highlight coloring. Sequences with 99% or greater identity to M. restricta are starred. (A) Tree containing sequences from the D1 and D2 variable domains of the large ribosomal subunit. Coral sequences are deposited in the NCBI SRA, accession #SRP005168. (B) Tree containing sequences spanning the V4 hypervariable region of the ribosomal small subunit; most sequences were compiled in .
