Alignment Files for protein coding sequences of bacterial conserved marker genes (n=400) for 51 representative Pseudomonas genomes.

Phylogenetic status of strain RL was determined using 400 conserved bacterial marker genes and representative whole genome sequences from 40 diverse Pseudomonas species as available in NCBI database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/browse/representative/). A phylogenetic tree was hence constructed using maximum likelihood (ML) methodology on the basis of protein coding bacterial conserved gene (400) sequences [39] determined for Pseudomonas sp. RL and 50 other Pseudomonas strains with Azotobacter vinelandii being the outgroup.
