Fig. 2: Morphology and phylogeny of morphogenetic haloarchaea.
From: Cellular differentiation into hyphae and spores in halophilic archaea
a Colony morphologies (first row) and scanning electron micrographs (second and third rows) of 7 morphogenetic Halobacteria grown in ISP 4 medium after 14 and 28 days (n = 3). b, Phylogenetic placement of morphogenetic isolates (green) within Halobacteria. The Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic tree (IQ-Tree59, LG + F + R10 model) is based on 268 orthologous genes that are universal among 130 Halobacteria genomes and have at most 4 additional paralogs in any of these. The tree is rooted at the Halobacterium-Halodesulfurarchaeum clade following60. Branch support values were estimated using aBayes. Scale, substitutions per amino acid site.
