Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree indicating the relationships between the strain ZWT and other Sphingobacterium spp.
Bootstrap values (expressed as percentages of 1,000 replications) of > 70% are shown at branch points. Bar, 0.01 substitutions per nucleotide position.
Fig 3.
Optical mapping of the Sphingobacterium deserti sp. nov. ZWT genomic DNA with BamHI.
The large chromosome restriction map was generated by shotgun optical mapping. The outer circle depicts the consensus map; the inner circles indicate the contigs from which the consensus map was generated. Colors are arbitrarily assigned to homologous overlapping fragments.
