16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic tree showing the position of the archaeal sequence clone (SM1) derived from a single pearl. The topology of the tree is based on the results of a maximum-parsimony analysis (ARB software package [34, 35]). Reference sequences were chosen to represent the broadest diversity of archaea. The scale bar shows a 10% estimated difference in nucleotide sequence positions.
