Figure 2.

A phylogenetic tree inferred from the 16S rRNA gene sequence acquired from metagenomic analyses depicting the diversity of myxobacteria in Sorangiineae suborder observed in salt-containing environments. Unless indicated, the sequences were obtained from marine sediments. The GenBank accession number is indicated in parenthesis. JF34 (marked in asterisk) represents bacteria that likely grow anaerobically. The bar represents 20 nucleotide substitutions per 1000 sites. Bootstrap values greater than 60% are shown in the nodes (based on 1000 replications).
