Ribeiro et al. Foods Supplementary Material S1 Phylogenetic relationships of Penicillium strains from cecina

Phylogenetic relationships of Penicillium strains from cecina based on calmodulin (CaM) gene sequences using the Neighbor-Joining method. Verified sequences of Penicillium species commonly associated with meat products are included, with bootstrap values (1000 replicates) shown on branches. The analysis included 69 nucleotide sequences (43 Penicillium strains from cecina and 26 verified strains). All ambiguous positions were removed using pairwise deletion, resulting in 486 positions in the final dataset. Red boxes indicate established clusters.
