Figure 4

The best-scoring Maximum Likelihood tree with the highest log likelihood (−1269.6815) is presented and shows that the strain isolated from gravity-dependent ball (in bold) is similar to the type of P. capsulatum CBS 301.48. The phylogram was constructed using MEGA5.1 and is based on ITS sequences. The bootstrap percentages using Maximum Parsimony (MP) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) (MP/ML) are shown at the nodes. Values less than 70% support are not shown; the tree is rooted with Penicillium glabrum CBS 125543 (T = Type; NT = Neotype).
