Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of Delftia acidovorans Cs1-4 relative to other Delftia species as well as genera within the family Comamonadaceae. The 16S rRNA gene sequences were obtained from either type strains (strain designation ends with “T”) and/or have full genome sequence data that is publicly available (GenBank accession numbers are indicated in parentheses) were aligned by using MUSCLE (http://www.drive5.com/muscle/). MEGA v. 5.05 was used for phylogenetic reconstruction via the maximum-likelihood method (tree inference by nearest neighbor interchange), with the Tamura-Nei substitution model. Uniform bootstrap values obtained from 1000 replicate analyses are indicated at nodes. Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 (family Burkholderiaceae) was used as the outgroup. The scale bar represents a 0.03 % nucleotide sequence divergence
