From: Complete genome sequence of the thermophilic, hydrogen-oxidizing Bacillus tusciae type strain (T2T) and reclassification in the new genus, Kyrpidia gen. nov. as Kyrpidia tusciae comb. nov. and emendation of the family Alicyclobacillaceae da Costa and Rainey, 2010

Figure 1.

Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of B. tusciae relative to the type strains within the families Alicyclobacillaceae and Thermoactinomycetaceae, which gave the best hits when conducting a BLAST search [22] against the sequences contained in the last release from the All-Species-Living-Tree Project [24], and the type strains of all other families within the order Bacillales. The tree was inferred from 1,403 aligned characters [25,26] of the 16S rRNA gene sequence under the maximum likelihood (ML) criterion [27]. Rooting was done initially using the midpoint method [28] and then checked for its agreement with the current classification (Table 1). The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Numbers adjacent to the branches are support values from 450 ML bootstrap replicates [29] (left) and from 1,000 maximum parsimony (MP) bootstrap replicates [30] (right) if larger than 60%. Lineages with type strain genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [31] are labeled with one asterisk, those also listed as ‘Complete and Published’ with two asterisks [32,33].
