Phylogenetic tree showing position of Selenomonas felix strain Marseille-P3560T relative to other phylogenetically close neighbours. Respective GenBank accession numbers for 16S rRNA genes are indicated in parentheses. Sequences were aligned using Muscle v3.8.31 with default parameters, and phylogenetic inferences were obtained using maximum likelihood method within MEGA 7 software. Numbers at nodes are percentages of bootstrap values obtained by repeating analysis 100 times to generate majority consensus tree. Scale bar indicates 5% nucleotide sequence divergence.
