Phylogenetic tree of MAGs and their close genomic representatives from diverse environments. The Maximum-likelihood phylogenomic tree was based on 16 concatenated ribosomal proteins. The black and red asterisks indicate those microorganisms originating from marine environments and hypersaline environments such as salt lakes and subsurface brines, respectively. The purple dots represent bootstrap values > 70% (bootstrap values were generated from 1000 replications) whereas the bootstrap value of those nodes without a dot was less than 70%. Note: The taxa starting with “P” and “C” refer to their taxonomic level of phylum and class, respectively. The scale bar corresponds to 0.1 substitutions per amino acid position
