Fig 1. Phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showing the position of Deferrivibrio metallireducens V6Fe1T in the family Deferrivibrionaceae, related to the families Deferribacteraceae and Geovibrionaceae.
The outgroup (not represented here) was composed of the following type species: Thermanaeromonas toyohensis ToBE, Moorella thermoacetica DSM 2955, Moorella humiferrea OCP, Moorella glycerini DSM 11254, Desulfonatronum thiosulfatophilum ASO4-2, Desulfonatronum thioautotrophicum ASO4-1, Desulfonatronum thiodismutans MLF1, Desulfonatronum lacustre DSM 10312, Desulfovibrio ferrophilus IS5, Desulfovibrio subterraneus ND17, Desulfovibrio mangrove FT415, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans L4, Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis CCUG 45958, Candidatus Desulfovibrio trichonymphae Rs-N31. 16S rRNA gene sequences were extracted from genome assemblies using barrnap 0.9, and the multiple alignments of the sequences were performed with mafft 7.515 [39]. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree was generated using IQ-TREE 2.3.4 [40] with GTR + F + G4 model. Bootstraps are depicted at nodes, estimated by IQ-TREE -B 1000 option. The tree was generated using iTOL v6, providing a visual representation of the phylogenetic connections. The scale bar indicates the number of substitutions per site.
