(A) Phylogenetic overview of verrucomicrobial 16S rRNA gene sequences. The phylogenetic position of Candidatus Methylacidiphilum (Incertae sedis Candidatus Methylacidiphilum) is marked in red. (B) Detailed presentation of the sequences of Candidatus Methylacidiphilum. Sequences of cultivated strains are shown in red, and sequences obtained from paddy field soil are shown in purple. The neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree was calculated using Jukes-Cantor correction and the Arctic 97B-4 marine group as outgroup.
