FIGURE 3.
Maximum-likelihood tree reconstructed using a data set of 26 18S rRNAs derived from the genus Lobosphaera and its relative species in Chlorophyta (A). The genera Ettlia, Myrmecia, Parietochloris, and Lobosphaera could not be clearly separated from each other, and our isolate (KT119888) formed different lineages with L. incisa SAG 2466 (KM020046). Trentepohlia sp. UTEX 1227 (AY052569) was used as an outgroup. The scale bar represents 0.01 nucleotide substitutions per site. Maximum-parsimony tree reconstructed using a data set of seven internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions derived from the genus Lobosphaera and its available relatives (B). Numbers at the branches indicate bootstrapping values obtained with 1,000 replicates; only bootstrap values >70% are indicated, respectively.
