Figures & Tables

Figure 1:

Phylogenetic tree of S. carpocapsae BPS. A. Phylogenetic relationships from the 18S marker. B. Phylogenetic relationships from concatenated ITS and 28S markers. The relationships were inferred by maximum likelihood estimation for the 18S marker while UPGMA was used for the concatenated markers. Caenorhabditis. elegans was used as an outgroup. The numbers on the nodes indicate the bootstrap values (1,000 replications).

Figure 4:

Phylogenetic tree of the bacterial symbiont Xenorhabdus nematophila BPS. A. Phylogenetic relationships from the 16S marker. B. Phylogenetic relationships from concatenation of dnaN, recA, gltX, and rplB markers. The relationships were inferred by maximum likelihood estimation. Morganella morganii subsp. morganii was used as an outgroup for 16S, while Proteus mirabilis and Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. laumondii were used for concatenated markers. The numbers on the nodes indicate the bootstrap values (≥ 50%) (100 replicates).
