From: Single-colony sequencing reveals microbe-by-microbiome phylosymbiosis between the cyanobacterium Microcystis and its associated bacteria

Fig. 4

Co-phylogeny between Microcystis and two prevalent associated bacteria. a Roseomonas and b Rhodobacter core genome phylogenies were compared to the Microcystis core phylogeny. The lines between the two phylogenies connect genomes coming from the same Microcystis colony. The phylogenetic trees for Microcystis, Roseomonas and Rhodobacter were based on 706, 135 and 470 core genes, respectively. The different Microcystis genotypes are highlighted in colour, and the Roseomonas or Rhodobacter species in gray. The asterisks indicate the presence of the mcy cluster. While in a perfect co-phylogeny, the tree topologies of host and symbiont are identical; in these two comparisons, the co-phylogenetic similarity is imperfect but greater than expected by chance (ParaFit Global test, P value < 0.01)
