Fig 2. Network phylogeny of R. capsulatus bacteriophages.

The predicted proteins of all 29 R. capsulatus phages and those found in the 14,087 bp RcGTA structural gene region were sorted into 833 families (phams) according to shared amino acid sequence similarities using Phamerator [31]. Each genome was then assigned values reflecting the presence or absence of members of each pham; the genomes were compared and displayed using Splitstree. Clusters are indicated with colored ovals. The scale bar indicates 0.01 substitutions/site. Asterisks indicate sequences available prior to this study.
