Figure 2

Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of C. burnetii strain Namibia (shown in bold) relative to the other C. burnetii strains with whole genome sequences available. The average linkage (UPGMA) tree was inferred from 5,010 aligned positions of conserved blocks (determined using Gblocks [27]) of the rRNA operon sequences using the Juxes & Cantor model, calculated with the R packages ape [28] and phangorn [29]. Bootstrap values (expressed as percentages of 1,000 replicates) are shown at branch points. The closest related species based on a BLAST [30] search against bacterial genomes of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) non-redundant (nr) database [31] using the rRNA operon sequence is currently Thioalkalivibrio sulfidophilus HL-EbGr7 [32], a species commonly isolated from soda lakes, and was used as outgroup to root the tree.
