From: Complete genome sequence of Meiothermus silvanus type strain (VI-R2T)
Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of M. silvanus VI-R2T relative to the type strains of the other species within the genus and to the other type strains within the family Thermaceae. The tree was inferred from 1,442 aligned characters [30,31] of the 16S rRNA gene sequence under the maximum likelihood criterion [32] and rooted in accordance with the current taxonomy [33]. The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Numbers above branches are support values from 900 bootstrap replicates [34] if larger than 60%. Lineages with type strain genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [35] are shown in blue, published genomes in bold, i.e. Thermus thermophilus (AP008226) and the type species of the genus, M. ruber [36].
