From: Complete genome sequence of Methanothermus fervidus type strain (V24ST)
Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of M. fervidus V24ST relative to the other type strains within the family Methanothermaceae. The tree was inferred from 1,249 aligned characters [3,4] of the 16S rRNA gene sequence under the maximum likelihood criterion [5] and rooted in accordance with the current taxonomy [6]. The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Numbers above branches are *support values from 100 bootstrap replicates [7] if larger than 60%. Lineages with type strain genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [8] are shown in blue, published genomes in bold [9–12].
