T he codes initiated by CO, CS, CF, and CR are those from this study, and the others with their accession number are from GenBank. Verrucomicrobium spinosum was selected as the outgroup species. The scale bar represents 0.02 substitutions per nucleotide po sition. Numbers at the nodes are the bootstrap values (%); only values of ≥50% are shown.
