Figure 1.

Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of C. akajimensis 04OKA010-24^T relative to the other type strains within the phylum Verrucomicrobia. The tree was inferred from 1,373 aligned characters [15,16] of the 16S rRNA gene sequence under the maximum likelihood criterion [17] and rooted in accordance with the current taxonomy [18]. The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Numbers above branches are support values from 300 bootstrap replicates [19] if larger than 60%. Lineages with type strain genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [20] are shown in blue (Akkermansia muciniphila CP001071, Opitutus terrae CP001032), published genomes in bold.
