Taxonomic analysis of the 16S rRNA V4 region of Micro36 and OTU10. a Comparison between the 16S rRNA V4 region sequence of Micro36, OTU10, and various other Micrococcaceae. Variable nucleotides in the alignment are shown in green (A), red (T), blue (C), and yellow (G). White indicates an insertion in one of the other Micrococcaceae. The numbering is that used in Extended Data Fig. 5 of Rackaityte et al. [1]. Nucleotides dissimilar between Micro36 and OTU10 are highlighted with an asterisk. b A phylogeny inferred from the 16S rRNA V4 region sequences using the maximum likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model [17]. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths representing the number of substitutions per site. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7
