Supplementary Fig. S1. Phylogenetic trees, based on maximum-parsimony (A)and maximum-likelihood (B) analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences, showing the position of strain TRM 4064T and closely related species. Sequence accession numbers are shown in parentheses. Bootstrap values are based on 1000 replicates; Bootstrap values are indicated at branch-points. Rubrobacter radiotolerans DSM 46359Twas used as this outgroup.
