Figure 7

Phylogenetic tree of Phylum Verrucomicrobia, based on the 16S rRNA gene. The phylogenetic position of "Candidatus Pinguicoccus supinus" is shown. Numbers associated to nodes represent posterior probability and bootstrap values, respectively (only values above 0.80–75 are shown). Black circles indicate organisms also employed in phylogenomic analysis (Fig. 8). Asterisks indicate sequences employed in the 16S rRNA gene screening on IMNGS (Fig. 10; Supplementary Table 6). Numbers in square brackets, associated to collapsed branches, indicate how many sequences are not shown (for list of hidden sequences see Supplementary Table 9). Sequence obtained in the present work is in bold.
