Figure 9.

Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of the TerL (Terminase Large subunit—for Caudovirales including Myoviridae, Podoviridae, and Siphoviridae) (pfam03237) of Lakeside Beach virome. Lakeside-1 virome library was used as a representative metagenome profile for the Lakeside Beach site. Sequence reads with significant similarity (E-value < 10⁻³ using blastX) to the TerL marker sequences were obtained, assembled at 98% identity in 35 bp using Cap3 and used to draw phylogenetic tree alongside reference sequences taken from the protein family (PFAM) database. Bootstrap values of >80 are highlighted with black lines. Sequences for which the best blast hit did not correspond to the TerL marker were excluded from analysis. Bootstrap values of ≥80 are highlighted with black lines.
