a, Schematic representation of searched macromolecular systems and associated proteins. Each system with the corresponding proteins was searched in Chloroflexota genomes using MacSyFinder2. The present subunits are coloured accordingly, and grey subunits were not found. Of the 3,780 genomes searched, 233 potentially flagellated members were found. Around 1,234 encoded a Tad pilus, and 340 have loci for a type IVa pilus. A total of 243 genomes encoded a complete archaellum machinery. b, Reference phylogeny of Chloroflexota at the order level with the relative frequency of each TFF and flagellum systems by order. Order names correspond to GTDB taxonomy. The full species tree of Chloroflexota is in source data. Archaellum machineries are found in most of the orders of Chloroflexota.
