Fig. 2: Phylogenetic reconstruction of a collection of 636 Verrucomicrobiota genomes including the MAGs recovered from Helgoland.
From: Verrucomicrobiota are specialist consumers of sulfated methyl pentoses during diatom blooms
The maximum-likelihood tree was based on a group of 120 conserved genes. Taxonomic classifications were determined using GTDB-tk. All orders in the external ring (coloured) belong to the Verrucomicrobiae class. Families containing ten or more genomes are highlighted (internal ring). Recovered MAGs from Helgoland are named according to their family affiliation and are highlighted by red circles. Branch support values between 90 and 100% are represented by dots. Names at the branches for isolates are shown in grey. Yellow triangles highlight branches for other isolates related at the genus/species level to those named. Abbreviated name in the second ring corresponds to Verrucomicrobiaceae. Complete names for abbreviated isolates: Coraliomargarita akajimensis DSM 45221, Verrucomicrobia bacterium IMCC26134, Cephaloticoccus capnophilus CV41, Cephaloticoccus primus CAG34, Nibricoccus aquaticus HZ-65, Opitutaceae bacterium EW11, Lacunisphaera limnophila IG16b, Verrucomicrobiae bacterium DG1235, Rubritalea marina DSM 17716, Prosthecobacter debontii ATCC 700200, Verrucomicrobium spinosum DSM 4136, Verrucomicrobium sp. BvORR106, Methylacidiphilum infernorum V4, Verrucomicrobium sp. GAS474, Verrucomicrobia bacterium LW23.
