Taxonomy of bacterial fosmids.

<p>A, Phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA genes amplified from the metagenomic library Km3 whose adjacent intergenic spacers differ in size from those of <i>Escherichia coli</i>. The tree was constructed by maximum likelihood using PhyML and a total of 1128 non ambiguously aligned positions. Non-parametric bootstrapping was performed upon 1,000 replicates. Only bootstrap values above 50 are shown. Km3 and ALOHA water column sequences are indicated in red and blue, respectively. Unc., uncultured. [*], AA0D00000000 genome sequence underway. B, Comparative taxonomic distribution of bacterial fosmid-ends by best BLAST hits in KM3 and ALOHA deep-sea libraries <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0000914#pone.0000914-DeLong2" target="_blank">[14]</a>.
