Fig. 1From: Occurrence and identification of hemotropic mycoplasmas (Hemoplasmas) in free ranging and laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus) from two Brazilian zoosPhylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, showing the relationship between the two isolates from rats (R25 and R37) and other hemotropic mycoplasmas. GenBankĀ® accession numbers are included. The evolutionary history was inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method [32]. The optimal tree with the sum of branch lengthā=ā5,36444540 is shown. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches [34]. The evolutionary distances were computed using the Maximum Composite Likelihood method [45] and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. The analysis involved 19 nucleotide sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were a total of 899 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA6 [31]Back to article page
