Fig. 68:14. Phylogenetic tree, which is based on 16S rRNA gene sequences ond show the natural relations between members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, which belongs to the phylum Proteobacteria. Note that the genera Escherichia and Shigella are very closely related.
The tree was genererated by using the computer program "Tree Builder" at RDP's web site. Clostridium botulinum, typ C, which belongs to phylum Tenericutes, was used as outgroup. (T) means typ strain. The length of the scale bar is equivalent to one nucleotide difference per 100 nucleotide positions. Date: 2018-01-18.
