Figure A2.

Phylogenetic affiliation for the 16S rRNA gene sequences obtained from the Bjørndalen library (Bd1). Representative clones for different phylotypes were selected, retrieved from the sediment and water springing from the waste pile. A maximum parsimony tree was chosen as a consensus tree after reconstructing the phylogeny by using different algorithms, substitutions models, and filters. Related isolates or environmental sequences are shown for comparison purposes. Bar represents 10% estimated phylogenetic divergence.
