Fig. 1: Concatenated marker gene tree of the Nitrospinae.
From: Genomic and kinetic analysis of novel Nitrospinae enriched by cell sorting
The maximum likelihood tree shows the phylogenetic positions of the two newly cultured strains (highlighted in red) within the phylum Nitrospinae. The tree was calculated from a concatenated alignment of 120 conserved bacterial marker proteins. Details of the Nitrospinae genomes, which were used to calculate this tree, are listed in Table S1. Numbers at branches indicate ultrafast bootstrap (n = 1000) support. Nitrospira moscoviensis, Desulfococcus multivorans, and Geobacter metallireducens were used as an outgroup. Cultured organisms are marked with an asterisk. Clades of the Nitrospinae are indicated as proposed elsewhere [6] and the family Nitrospinaceae is indicated as determined by GTDB-TK. The scale bar indicates 0.1 estimated substitutions per residue. The sample source is indicated in parentheses.
