Fig. 2: Evolutionary analyses of Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator (CDA) SAGs.
From: Evolutionary stasis of a deep subsurface microbial lineage
Genomic variability among Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator SAGs (red); SAGs of cyanobacteria cultures MIT9313 and WH8102 (green); and Sulfolobus islandicus genomes (orange) [47]. Variability metrics include: (A) nucleotide substitutions; (B) indels; and (C) dN/dS ratio, with respect to the MP104C reference genome. CDA SAGs are separated by study site. Cyanobacteria values, which were used as methodological controls, were calculated using two references: legacy genome sequences [45, 46] and new co-assemblies of SAGs.
