Phylogenetic analysis highlighting the position of Sedimenticola selenatireducens strain AK4OH1T relative to its closest neighbors based on the 16S rRNA gene. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model [29]. The tree with the highest log likelihood (-3985.1130) is shown. The percentage of trees in which the associated taxa clustered together is shown next to the branches. Initial tree(s) for the heuristic search were obtained by applying the Neighbor-Joining method to a matrix of pairwise distances estimated using the Maximum Composite Likelihood (MCL) approach. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site. The analysis involved 15 nucleotide sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were a total of 1276 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA6 [30]. The strains and their corresponding GenBank accession numbers for 16S rRNA genes are listed in parentheses. The genome accession number and locus tag of strain AK4OH1T are NZ_ATZE00000000.1 and A3GODRAFT_03746. (T = type strain). Bar: 0.01 substitutions per nucleotide position. C. okenii was used as an outgroup
