Figure 4

Phylogenetic trees of Selenomonas and Veillonella isolated from individual plaque samples. 16S rRNA gene sequences from a single high disease plaque sample (DA, red text) and a single low disease plaque sample (DB, blue text) were used to generate phylogenetic trees of Selenomonas and Veillonella, respectively. The x-axis indicates percent difference in 16S rRNA gene sequence. The separated clusters of Selenomonas show that this population descended from independently colonizing but phylogenetically related bacteria. Veillonella from DB exhibited limited diversity.
