Comparative Genomic Analysis of Lactobacillus plantarum: An Overview

Figure 3

Phylogenies based on pangenome analyses of L. plantarum. (a) A phylogenetic tree constructed by pangenome data. The branches highlighted indicate the geographical locations where the strains were isolated. (b) A phylogenetic tree based on core genome data. The first box shows which colors correspond to the source of the strains, and the box below described the symbols used here to represent the bacteriocins. The scales below the trees correspond to the time in millions of years (Mya). Nisin bacteriocin is not shown since it is present in most strains.
