Figure. . . Phylogenetic tree of 4 coronaviruses (CoVs) isolated from bat guano collected in this study (KCP9, KCP12, KCP15, and KCP31); 35 additional human and animal CoVs from the National Center for Biotechnology Information database are included. Construction of the tree was based on 152 nt of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene region by maximum-likelihood method and GTR+I model with the 1,000 bootstrap resampling method implemented in MEGA5 (http://megasoftware.net/). Numbers on branches indicate percentages of bootstrap support from 1,000 replicates. The scale bar indicates the estimated 0.1 nt substitutions per site. CoV genera (Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Gammacoronavirus, and Deltacoronavirus) based on International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses recommendation are indicated (alphaCoV, betaCoV, gammaCoV, and deltaCoV, respectively).
