Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of S. roseum NI 9100^T relative to the type strains of the other species within the genus (1a) except for S. claviforme (see text). The tree was inferred from 1,411 and aligned characters [8,9] of the 16S rRNA gene sequence under the maximum likelihood criterion [10] and either rooted with the results of Figure 1b (Figure 1a) or rooted in accordance with the current taxonomy. The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Numbers above branches are support values from 1,000 bootstrap replicates if larger than 60%. Lineages with type strain genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD [11] are shown in blue, published genomes in bold.
