Figure 2

Unrooted Bayesian majority rule consensus tree of MenH. Chlorobi and the cyanobacterial groups Oscillatoriales and Nostocales form sister clades, suggesting a HGT between these taxa. The position of diatoms (i.e., T. pseudonana and P. tricornutum) MenH is indicated by the red arrow. These highly diverged long branched sequences were excluded from the final analysis. The numbers at the nodes are PHYML bootstrap values (500 replicates). Only bootstrap values >50% are shown. For the sake of clarity only support values at nodes of highest interest have been included in the figure. The thick branches have a BPP > 0.95. The branch lengths in this tree are proportional to the number of substitutions per site (see scale in figure).
