Figure 2

Global phylogeny of the 117 dairy bacterial isolates sequenced in the present study. The phylogenetic tree is an ITOL circular visualization [68] with the branch length and the bootstrap values displayed. The tree is based on a concatenated alignment of 40 universal marker protein families [40]. Only genome sequences from which a minimum of 10 markers could be extracted and which had no contaminating sequences evidence were considered. The genome of Methanobrevibacter smithii ATCC35061 was used to root the tree. The colors correspond to the different phyla.
