From: Complete genome sequence of Desulfotomaculum acetoxidans type strain (5575T)
Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of D. acetoxidans strain 5575T relative to all type strains of the genus Desulfotomaculum, and the closely related genera Cryptanaerobacter, Desulfurispora, Pelotomaculum and Sporotomaculum, which appear to be nested within the paraphyletic genus Desulfotomaculum. The tree was inferred from 1294 aligned characters [5,6] of the 16S rRNA sequence under the maximum likelihood criterion [7] and rooted with the type strain of the type species of the family Peptococcaceae. The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Numbers above branches are support values from 1000 bootstrap replicates if larger than 60%. Lineages with type strain genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [8] are shown in blue, published genomes in bold.
