Figure 6

Maximum clade credibility tree summarizing the results of the Bayesian molecular clock analysis of the 100 concatenated core genome genes. The timeline indicates the age of the nodes when a mutation rate of 4.5 × 10-9 per year/site was used to calibrate the tree. One strain from each species or lineage was included in the analysis; L. monocytogenes lineages I (F2365), II (EGD-e) and IIIC (FSL F2-208), L. marthii (FSL S4-120), L. innocua (CLIP11262), L. welshimeri (SLCC5334), L. seeligeri (FSL N1-067), and L. ivanovii subsp. londoniensis (FSL F6-596). Values above the branches indicate posterior probability values, blue horizontal bars on the nodes show the 95% highest probability density of the inferred age of the nodes. The posterior probability of the individual trees and 95% highest probability density of the divergence time were based on 9,000,000 post burn-in generations of a 10,000,000 generation run. The values on the time lines represent ages as million years before present. Labels of pathogenic strains have been colored red.
