Maximum-likelyhood phylogenetic tree based on CLUSTALW alignment of 16S rRNA gene sequences of the Acidithiobacillia. Type strains of each species of Acidithiobacillus are used, along with that of Thermithiobacillus (emboldened). Thermithiobacillus sp. NCIMB 8349 (the only other Thermithiobacillus sp. in culture) is given for the sake of completeness. Sequences pertaining to organisms for which a publically available genome sequence exists are underlined. Accession numbers for the GenBank database are in parentheses. Alignment and tree were constructed in MEGA 6 [30] using 1,509 positions and pairwise deletion. Tree was drawn using the Tamura-Nei model for maximum-likelyhood trees [31]. Values at nodes are based on 5,000 bootstrap replicates. Scale-bar indicates 2 substitutions per 100. Thiobacillus thioparus DSM 505T is used as the outgroup
