Phylogenetic tree showing the relationships of the three morphotypes to closely related species. The tree was inferred from 16S rRNA gene sequence data by the neighbor-joining method and rooted using the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Dermacoccus profundi (AY894329.1). Bootstrap values were calculated from 1,000 trees. The scale bar indicates the estimated number of substitutions per 200 bases. Names and accession numbers are given as cited in the GenBank database
