Characterization of Halorubrum sfaxense sp. nov., a New Halophilic Archaeon Isolated from the Solar Saltern of Sfax in Tunisia

Figure 4

Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of 66 halobacteriales sequences showing the position of strain ETD6 among the species of genus Halorubrum and other genera of extremely halophilic archaea. The tree was reconstructed using Treefinder [49] with a Jukes and Cantor model. Values at nodes represent bootstrap values computed with Treefinder (100 replicates of the original dataset). The scale bar represents the average number of substitutions by site. Halorubrum sp. BG-1 AM900832 correspond to Halorubrum kocurii; Halorubrum sp. HALO-G AM048786 correspond to Halorubrum chaoviator.
