Comparison of cp26 and ospC phylogenies. Sequences for the ospC gene and the cp26 plasmid without ospC (cutting out 200 bp upstream and downstream the gene) were aligned with MAFFT v7.407 [46, 47]⁠ and BEAST v1.8.0 [41]⁠ was run for 100 Million states for cp26 and 20 Million states for ospC each in triplicate. Best trees were reconstructed after removing a burnin-in of 10% of the chain and all three runs showed very similar results for each tree. Both trees were plotted using FigTree v. 1.4.4 (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/) and manually rotated. Color code for isolates: Light green: B. spielmanii, dark green: B. afzelii, cyan: B. garinii, purple: B. bavariensis Russia, red: B. bavariensis Japan, marine blue: B. bavariensis Europe. Dots on the ospC phylogeny represent several isolates having exactly the same sequence. Scale bars are in substitutions per site. Values next to nodes indicate node posterior probability (not shown within the European B. bavariensis clade for the sake of clarity)
