Branching orders that were not supported by all methods are shown as multifurcations. Partial sequences were subsequently inserted into the reconstructed consensus tree. The scale bar corresponds to 10% estimated sequence divergence.
(B) Micrographs of two multicellular filaments of vacuolated Beggiatoa from Eckernförde Bay/Baltic Sea. Scale bars correspond to 30 μm.
