a Hyphomonadaceae UKL13-1 1 16S phylogenetic tree. The novel genome is placed between two branches of the Hyphomonadaceae, current members of which are almost all marine bacteria [60]. They are strict aerobes inhabiting oligotrophic niches, often reduce nitrate, and are flagellated, though some produce stalks to become sessile. None are known to be photosynthetic [60]. The scale represents substitutions per nucleotide. b Betaproteobacterium UKL13-2 16S phylogenetic tree. The novel genome is placed between two betaproteobacterial families, and is not part of the widely distributed bet or Pnec clades found in freshwater lakes across the world (Additional file 1: Table S1) [43]. The Nitrosomonadaceae are ammonia oxidizers [61], while the Rhodocyclaceae include chemolithotrophs and methylotrophs [62]. None are known to be photosynthetic. The amoA gene common to ammonia oxidizers was not detected in the Betaproteobacterium UKL13-2 genome. c Bacteroidetes UKL13-3 16S phylogenetic tree. The novel genome is placed between two Bacteroidetes families
