Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of strain L21-RPul-D2 T within the family Spirochaetaceae. The dendrogram is based on almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequences and was reconstructed with a neighbor-joining distance matrix program as implemented in the ARB package using phylogenetic distances calculated with the algorithm of Jukes and Cantor. No filter or weighting masks were used to constrain the used positions of the alignment. In addition, trees were reconstructed using the PHYLIP maximum parsimony program of ARB and the RAxML maximum likelihood program. Support of a distinct branching by bootstrap analyses is indicated by symbols. Closed circles at a distinct node indicate that bootstrap values of 80% or above (percentages of 1000 resamplings) were obtained with three different reconstruction methods, while open circles indicate that values of 80% or above were obtained with only two reconstruction methods. Stable clades of Spirochaeta species formed by two or more type strains are marked with brackets. The sequence of Leptospira interrogans (acc. no. Z12817) was used as outgroup (not shown). Type strains with genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [20] are labeled with one asterisk, those also listed as ‘Complete and Published’ with two asterisks (see [21–23], CP002541 for S. globosa, CP003155 for S. pleomorpha, CP001841 for Treponema azotonutricium, and CP002696 for T. brennaborense). The bar represents an estimated sequence divergence of 5%.
