Dendrogramofoperationaltaxonomicunits(OTUs)withsimilaritytoLactobacillus.Phylo- genetic relationships were inferred using Maximum Likelihood analysis with a General Time Reversible Model using 1,000 bootstrap replicates in MEGA5. The dataset was generated from representative OTUs with similarity to Lactobacillus spp., and extracted Lactobacillus sequences from the NCBI database for the V3 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA region.
