Calculate the percentage of similarity in the nucleotide bases between each species. For example, there is a 70% similarity between the sequences for L. brevis and L. acidophilus.

Calculate the percentage of similarity in the nucleotide bases between
each species. For example, there is a 70% similarity between the sequences for L. brevis and L. acidophilus.

L. brevis -> L. sanfranciscensis 50%
L. brevis -> L. acidophilus 70%
L. brevis -> L. plantarum 60%
L. sanfranciscensis -> L. acidophilus 50%
L. sanfranciscensis -> L. plantarum 50%
L. plantarum -> L. acidophilus 60%

To calculate the overall similarity between the species, you can take the average of the percentages:

(50% + 70% + 60% + 50% + 50% + 60%) / 6 = 55%

Therefore, the overall similarity in the nucleotide bases between each species is 55%.
