Myxobacterial metabolite profile analysis. a Taxonomy of the order Myxococcales based on a neighbor-joining consensus tree constructed from 16S rRNA gene sequence data of type strains, with the number of available LC–MS data sets given for each genus. Additional strains not assigned to the listed species were included for some genera, for a total count of 2316 data sets (Supplementary Table 8 and Supplementary Data 1). b Outline of the analysis workflow used in this study
