Probiotic Potential of Lactobacillus Strains with Antimicrobial Activity against Some Human Pathogenic Strains

Figure 1

Phylogenetic tree based on the neighbor-joining method of 16S rRNA gene sequences. The analysis involved nine sequences of Lactobacillus strains obtained in this study, 41 sequences of Lactobacillus species obtained from the GenBank, and the outgroup was Lactococcus lactis AB100803.1. Bootstrap values above 50% are indicated at the nodes of the tree. The scale bar represents 0.02-nucleotide substitutes per position.
