Figure 1

Phylogenetic tree of the 22 sequenced strains of Propionibacterium freudenreichi based on its core proteome. The phenotypes for nitrate and various sugars degradation are coded with shades of grey, from white (no sugar degradation) to black (perfect degradation, see methods for additional details on the numerical values). There is no obvious phylogenetic structure underlying sugar or nitrate degradation. Sugars and nitrate were abbreviated as follows: nitrate (nit), L-arabinose (L-arn), ribose (rib), D-fructose (D-fru), arbutine (arb), lactose (lac), melibiose (mel), xylitol (xyl), L-arabitol (L-art) and gluconate (glcn).
