monophyletic

Examples of monophyletic in the following topics:

• Overview of Proteobacteria

  • The alpha, beta, delta, epsilon sections are monophyletic, but the Gammaproteobacteria due to the Acidithiobacillus genus is paraphyletic to Betaproteobacteria, according to multigenome alignment studies, which if done correctly are more precise than 16S (note that Mariprofundus ferrooxydans sole member of the Zetaproteobacteria was previously misclassified on NCBI taxonomy).

• Opisthokonts: Animals and Fungi

  • Both genetic and ultrastructural studies strongly support that opisthokonts form a monophyletic group.

• Diverse Cell Forms of Methanogens

  • These species do not form a monophyletic group, but are split into three clades.

• Phylogeny of the Eukarya

  • The Amoeboza and Opisthokonta are each monophyletic and form a clade, often called the unikonts.

• Overview of Bacterial Viruses

  • Tailed phages appear to be monophyletic and are the oldest known virus group.

• Cyanobacteria

  • However, the latter two–Nostocales and Stigonematales–are monophyletic, and make up the heterocystous cyanobacteria.

• Chloroflexus and Relatives

  • The six classes that make up the phylum did not consistently form a well-supported monophyletic clade in phylogenetic trees based on concatenated sequences for large datasets of proteins.
