Figure 1.

Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of L. buccalis C-1013-b^T relative to all type strains of the genus Leptotrichia inferred from 1,421 aligned characters [15,16] of the 16S rRNA sequence under the maximum likelihood criterion [17], and rooted with all type strains of the family Leptotrichiaceae. The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Numbers above branches are support values from 1,000 bootstrap replicates, if larger than 60%. Lineages with type strain genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [18] are shown in blue, published genomes in bold.
