From: Isolation and cultivation of a novel freshwater magnetotactic coccus FCR-1 containing unchained magnetosomes

Fig. 2

A maximum-likelihood (ML) tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showing the position of strain FCR-1 and 28 uncultured and cultured strains of magnetotactic “Ca. Magnetococcia”. Bootstrap values at the nodes are shown as percentages of 1000 replicates. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the magnetotactic Alphaproteobacteria, Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1, Paramagnetospirillum magnetotacticum MS-1 and Paramagnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 are used as the outgroup. GeneBank accession numbers are given in parentheses. Circle symbols indicate the sampling sites of the magnetotactic cocci; marine (blue circles), brackish (purple circles) and freshwater habitats (green circles). Star symbols indicate the magnetotactic cocci biomineralizing unchained magnetosomes. Cultured MTB are shown in bold. The scale bar represents nucleotide substitution per site.
