Phylogenetic tree showing position of ‘Lactobacillus timonensis’ strain Marseille-P3825T relative to other phylogenetically close species with standing in nomenclature. Sequences were aligned using CLUSTALW, and phylogenetic inferences were obtained using maximum-likelihood method within MEGA software. Numbers at nodes are percentages of bootstrap values obtained by repeating the analysis 1000 times to generate a majority consensus tree. Only bootstrap scores of at least 90 were retained. The scale bar indicates a 5‰ nucleotide sequence divergence.
