Figure 2From: Bacterial diversity in faeces from polar bear (Ursus maritimus) in Arctic SvalbardPhylogenetic tree of the 17 phylotypes recovered from the clone library obtained from faeces from three polar bears in Svalbard, Norway (bold). Evolutionary distance was calculated using the Kimura-2 parameter model for nucleotide change and the tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining method. Statistical significance of branching was verified by bootstrapping. The scale bar represents a 5% estimated sequence divergence, and reference sequences were obtained from the GenBank Database.Back to article page
