Molecular Phylogeny of 16S ribosomal RNA. The evolutionary history of 249 nucleotide partial 16S rRNA sequences was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method. The tree with the highest log likelihood (-2387) is shown. The analysis reveals two distinct clades with 100% bootstrap support corresponding to the Atlantic and Pacific samples respectively. The Pacific and Atlantic entries from the present study are highlighted in yellow and red. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site. The Ls 16S Pac sequence [GenBank:KF278676] was derived from the holotype speciemen (ZMUB91335). The Ls 16S ATL sequence [GenBank:KF278677] was derived from a random female from the LsAtl strain.
