Two-Gene Phylogeny of Bright-Spored Myxomycetes (Slime Moulds, Superorder Lucisporidia)
Figure 1
SSU rRNA gene tree of Lucisporidia derived by Bayesian inference of 1325 nucleotide positions of 51 sequences, with Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa as outgroup.
Species names are followed by GenBank accession number, except for sequences obtained during this study (in bold), whose accession numbers and collection sites are in Table S1. Clades are highlighted and labelled according to current classification or as new. Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP)/ML bootstrap replicates (MLB) are shown for each branch; dashes indicate a conflicting topology in the ML tree; a dot on the line indicates maximum support in both analyses. The scale bar indicates the fraction of substitutions per site. Credit photos: A, F, G, J–M: Michel Poulain; B–E, H, I, N–P: Alain Michaud.
