Neighbor joining tree of BssA amino acidic sequences.
The cluster shown as a triangle represents members of a clone library obtained from a PFR closely related to Magnetospirillum strain TS-6 and to the isolate 15–1. Clones 57 and 78 are part of a second subgroup and C54 is shown in the Thauera cluster
