Figure 1.
Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree inferred from the 3,853-gene supermatrix.
The branches are scaled in terms of the expected number of substitutions per site. Numbers above branches are support values from ML (left) and maximum parsimony (MP; right) bootstrapping. The tree was rooted with the Methanomicrobia genomes included in the sample. The topology of the single best MP tree was identical to the one depicted here.

Secreted protease distribution in haloarchaeal genomes.
A heat map shows the distribution of MEROPS protease families, and the tree shows the results of hierarchical clustering.

Glycosyl hydrolase distribution in haloarchaeal genomes.
The graph shows the results of hierarchical clustering of Halobacteria based on the abundance of Pfam domains corresponding to glycosyl hydrolase families and carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). Glycosyl hydrolases and CBMs distinguishing groups of Halobacteria with different nutritional preferences are highlighted.
