The Genome Sequence of Methanohalophilus mahii SLPT Reveals Differences in the Energy Metabolism among Members of the Methanosarcinaceae Inhabiting Freshwater and Saline Environments
Figure 2
16S rRNA-based phylogenetic tree showing the position of Mhp. mahii relative to the other type strains within the order Methanosarcinales. The tree was inferred from 1341 aligned characters [25, 32] of the 16S rRNA gene sequence under the maximum likelihood criterion [26] and rooted with representatives of the Methanocellaceae. The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Numbers above branches are support values from bootstrap replicates [28] if larger than 60%. Lineages with type strain-genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [10] are shown in blue, published genomes in bold.
