Phylogenetic relationship of the Janthinobacterium lividum strain MTR to other members of the Oxalobacteraceae family: The evolutionary history was inferred using the neighbor-joining method [49]. The optimal tree with a branch length sum = 0.15329841 is shown. The percentage of replicate trees (higher than 75) in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches [50]. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths in the same units as those of the evolutionary distances used to infer the phylogenetic tree. The evolutionary distances were computed using the maximum composite likelihood method [51] and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. The rate variation among sites was modeled with a gamma distribution (shape parameter = 1). The analysis involved 34 nucleotide sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were a total of 1429 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA5 [52]. The Janthinobacterium lividum strain MTR is highlighted in violet
