 FIGURE 2: PHYLOGENETIC TREE
Phylogenetic tree (Stetter 1996) modified from Woese et al. (1990), demonstrating the thermophilic root of the last universal common ancestor (in red) but also the putative mesophilic progenote (Forterre and Philippe 1999). The"primitive" nature of FeIII reducers (green) are also evident (Liu et al. 1997; Vargas et al. 1998).
