Sanger sequencing was performedat the GENEWIZ facility (Genewiz, La Jolla, CA, U.S.A.).The sequences of the sense and antisense strands of each strain werealigned and manually edited in order to rectify any sequencing error.Manually edited sequences were compared against the NCBI Gen-Bank nucleotide and genome databases using the NCBI BLASTntool. Geneious 10.2.3 was used for editing and alignment
