Neighbour-joining tree demonstrating the phylogenetic relationship between putative multicopper oxidase genes that are widely dispersed among Alphaproteobacteria. Alignments were created using CLUSTALX. Dendrogram was created using PHYLIP. Bootstrapping values are shown for nodes that were supported >70% of the time, or for nodes supported by both neighbour-joining and maximum-likelihood analyses. All nodes with bootstrapping values >70% were supported in both analyses (data not shown). Strains capable of Mn(II) oxidation are denoted with a plus (+), and those known to be incapable are denoted with a minus (−). The remaining strains have not been tested, or the result is unknown. Pseudomonas mendocina and Polaromonas naphthalenivorans were used as the outgroups.
