High Doses of Halotolerant Gut-Indigenous<i> Lactobacillus plantarum</i> Reduce Cultivable Lactobacilli in Newborn Calves without Increasing Its Species Abundance

<div>Neighbour-joining of 16S rRNA gene sequences of LAB from calves in this study. Numbers indicate percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test. Branch lengths are evolutionary distances, that is, units of the number of base differences per site. A total of 1614 positions were the final dataset. LAB isolates from this study (●) and internal laboratory references (▲). Remarkably the closest isolates in the NCBI collection are a group of isolates isolated from grass silage in Japan.</div>
