Phylogenetic tree showing the position of Methanobrevibacter strain AbM4 relative to type strains of other Methanobrevibacter species. The strains and their corresponding GenBank accession numbers for 16S rRNA genes are (type=T): Methanobrevibacter gottschalkii HOT, (U55238); Methanobrevibacter thaueri CWT, (U55236.1); Methanobrevibacter millerae ZA-10T, (AY196673); Methanobrevibacter smithii PST, (U55233); Methanobrevibacter woesei GST, (U55237); Methanobrevibacter wolinii SHT, (U55240); Methanobrevibacter sp. AbM4, (AJ550156); Methanobrevibacter olleyae KM1H5-1PT, (AY65201); Methanobrevibacter ruminantium M1T, (AY196666); Methanobrevibacter curvatus RFM-2T, (U62533); Methanobrevibacter filiformis RFM-3T, (U82322); Methanobrevibacter cuticularis RFM-1T, (U41095); Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus DH-1T, (AY19665); Methanobrevibacter acididurans ATMT, (AF242652) and Methanobacterium formicicum DSMZ1535T, (AF169245). The tree is based on these sequences aligned by the RDP aligner, and uses the Jukes-Cantor corrected distance model to construct a distance matrix based on alignment model positions without the use of alignment inserts, and uses a minimum comparable position of 200. The tree is built with RDP Tree Builder, which uses Weighbor [6] with an alphabet size of 4 and length size of 1,000. The building of the tree also involves a bootstrapping process repeated 100 times to generate a majority consensus tree [7]. Methanobacterium formicicum was used as the outgroup.
