Figure 1.

Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of D. peptidovorans SEBR 4207^T relative to the other type strains within the phylum Synergistetes. The tree was inferred from 1,328 aligned characters [6,7] of the 16S rRNA gene sequence under the maximum likelihood criterion [8] and rooted in accordance with the current taxonomy [9]. 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 greater than 60%. Lineages with type strain genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [10] are shown in blue, published genomes in bold [11,12].
