Bayesian phylogenetic tree based on concatenated TEF1α-Β-TUB-RPB1-RPB2 sequences showing relationships among species of the Metarhizium anisopliae complex.
Isolates from this study from Mahanarva spectabilis, Anastrepha sp., and soil are highlighted in bold. Bayesian posterior probability (PP) values > 0.9 are indicated above the nodes. The symbol T refers to ex-type isolates. This tree is rooted in M. fluorescens.
