Similarity plot analysis. Analysis was carried out with SimPlot software [43], using a 200 bp sliding window and 50 bp step size. Prototype strains used for comparison are shown in the insert window. A, nucleic acid identity, per analysis window, for strain BNI-788st with prototype strains. Nucleotide positions on x-axis show the centre of the window. B, Bootsan analysis using the same window settings. A bootstrapped phylogenetic analysis is conducted per window over the alignment. Graphs represent the percentage (bootstrap values) at which each strain co-segregates phylogenetically in the analysis window with strain BNI-788st.
