Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Gene content cladogram of genus Fusobacterium. The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) cladogram was constructed based on the dissimilarities among core gene sequence analyses using a UBCG set in 167 Fusobacterium strains. Leptotrichia buccalis DSM 1135 and Cetobacterium somerae ATCC BAA-474 (red font) were used as outgroups. Each colored strip denotes a different Fusobacterium species, as defined in the legend. Gene support index values are given at branching points. (B) Phylogenetic tree of Fusobacterium necrophorum species. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree based on UBCG sequences of 41 RefSeq and five F. necrophorum test strains (bold). The clades are distinctly defined for each subspecies. The blue branch represents the clade for F. necrophorum subsp. necrophorum , and the red branch represents the clade for F. necrophorum subsp. funduliforme . strains BL and FDAARGOS 565 in the red boxes fall into the clade of F. necrophorum subsp. necrophorum , indicating that they are most likely F. necrophorum subsp. necrophorum . Bar, 0.01substitution per nucleotide position. (C) Heat map of ANI of whole-genome comparison of 46 (41 RefSeq sequences and five test strains) F. necrophorum strains. The row and column labels in the heat map correspond to the pairwise alignment of 46 F. necrophorum species. Cells in the heat map correspond to 95% identity and 70% coverage or greater. The identity match ranges from green to yellow to red as identity matches drop to 94.5%. F. necrophorum subsp. necrophorum and F. necrophorum subsp. funduliforme form each group represented in two distinct green blocks in the heat map and clustered together into separate clades in the phylogenetic tree. KG35 had a comparatively small ANI value, with the lowest-identity matches (some values were <95%), as indicated in the red grid. Strains are represented by their acronym and are provided in a supplementary material S1, see Data set S1.
