Comparative Analysis of the Methanogen Diversity in Horse and Pony by Using mcrA Gene and Archaeal 16S rRNA Gene Clone Libraries

Figure 2

A phylogenetic tree showing the relationship between archaeal 16S rRNA sequences in the horse and pony. The tree was constructed using neighbor-joining analysis. The scale bar represents a 2% sequence divergence of DNA sequence. Reference sequences were retrieved from the GenBank database, and their accession numbers are in brackets. OTU names from this study are labeled in bold. Representative clone name and its accession number are shown in brackets after OTU name. The Aquifex pyrophilus sequence was used as an outgroup to root the tree.
