Fig. 1
Positioning of ‘Enterococcus timonensis’ strain Marseille-P2817 relative to other phylogenetically close neighbours in phylogenetic tree. Sequences of strains involved were aligned by CLUSTALW, and phylogenetic inferences were obtained by MEGA 7.0 software using maximum-likelihood method. Numbers shown at nodes represent percentages of bootstrap values obtained after 500 repeats to generate majority consensus tree. Only bootstrap scores with minimum 90% score were retained. Scale bar indicates 0.5% nucleotide sequence divergence.

Positioning of ‘Leptotrichia massiliensis’ strain Marseille-P3007 relative to other phylogenetically close strains in phylogenetic tree. CLUSTALW was used to align sequences, and phylogenetic inferences were generated by MEGA 7.0 software with maximum-likelihood method. Scale bar indicates 1% nucleotide sequence divergence, and numbers at nodes are percentages of 500 bootstrap values obtained in order to generate consensus tree. Only bootstrap scores with minimum 90% score were retained.
