18. Phylogeny
• Phylogeny is a description of the evolutionary history of
relationships among organisms (or their parts).
• This is portrayed in a diagram called a phylogenetic
tree.
• Phylogenetic trees are used to depict the evolutionary
history of populations, species and genes.
• The Tree of Life refers to the concept that all living
organisms are related to one another through shared
ancestry.

• Abstract: A phylogenetic analysis based upon ribosomal
RNA sequence characterization reveals that living
systems represent one of three aboriginal lines of
descent: (i) the eubacteria, comprising all typical bacteria;
(ii) the archaebacteria, containing methanogenic bacteria;
and (iii) the urkaryotes, now represented in the
cytoplasmic component of eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
We spend the majority of our lives indoors where we are constantly exposed to bacteria residing on surfaces. However, the
diversity of these surface-associated communities is largely unknown. We explored the biogeographical patterns exhibited
by bacteria across ten surfaces within each of twelve public restrooms. Using high-throughput barcoded pyrosequencing of
the 16 S rRNA gene, we identified 19 bacterial phyla across all surfaces. Most sequences belonged to four phyla:

Actinobacteria, Bacteriodetes, Firmicutes and Proteobacteria. The communities clustered into three general categories: those
found on surfaces associated with toilets, those on the restroom floor, and those found on surfaces routinely touched with

Microbial communities are vital in the functioning of all ecosystems; however, most microorganisms are uncultivated, and their
roles in natural systems are unclear. Here, using random shotgun sequencing of DNA from a natural acidophilic biofilm, we report
reconstruction of near-complete genomes of Leptospirillum group II and Ferroplasma type II, and partial recovery of three other
genomes. This was possible because the biofilm was dominated by a small number of species populations and the frequency of
genomic rearrangements and gene insertions or deletions was relatively low. Because each sequence read came from a different
individual, we could determine that single-nucleotide polymorphisms are the predominant form of heterogeneity at the strain level.
The Leptospirillum group II genome had remarkably few nucleotide polymorphisms, despite the existence of low-abundance
variants. The Ferroplasma type II genome seems to be a composite from three ancestral strains that have undergone homologous
recombination to form a large population of mosaic genomes. Analysis of the gene complement for each organism revealed the
pathways for carbon and nitrogen fixation and energy generation, and provided insights into survival strategies in an extreme

To understand the impact of gut microbes on human health and well-being it is crucial to assess their genetic potential. Here
we describe the Illumina-based metagenomic sequencing, assembly and characterization of 3.3 million non-redundant
microbial genes, derived from 576.7 gigabases of sequence, from faecal samples of 124 European individuals. The gene set,
,150 times larger than the human gene complement, contains an overwhelming majority of the prevalent (more frequent)
microbial genes of the cohort and probably includes a large proportion of the prevalent human intestinal microbial genes. The
genes are largely shared among individuals of the cohort. Over 99% of the genes are bacterial, indicating that the entire
cohort harbours between 1,000 and 1,150 prevalent bacterial species and each individual at least 160 such species, which are
also largely shared. We define and describe the minimal gut metagenome and the minimal gut bacterial genome in terms of
functions present in all individuals and most bacteria, respectively.

Figure 4 | Bacterial species abundance differentiates IBD patients and
healthy individuals. Principal component analysis with health status as
instrumental variables, based on the abundance of 155 species with $1%
genome coverage by the Illumina reads in at least 1 individual of the cohort,
was carried out with 14 healthy individuals and 25 IBD patients (21 ulcerative
colitis and 4 Crohn’s disease) from Spain (Supplementary Table 1). Two first
components (PC1 and PC2) were plotted and represented 7.3% of whole
inertia. Individuals (represented by points) were clustered and centre of
gravity computed for each class; P-value of the link between health status and
species abundance was assessed using a Monte-Carlo test (999 replicates).
