a Phylogenomic tree of Zhurongbacter thermophilus 3DAC and other major thermophilic bacteria using Archaea as the outgroup with 16 conserved single-copy protein sequences (CSCP) with IQ-Tree using the LG + R10 + C60 model. b Phylogenomic tree of Zhurongbacter thermophilus 3DAC and other major thermophilic bacteria using 16/37/62 conserved protein sequences. Red color represents major thermophilic bacterial phyla, namely, Zhurongbacterota, Caldisericota, Coprothermobacterota, Dictyoglomota, Thermotogota, and Thermodesulfobiota. The pink color refers to Aquificota, Synergistota and Deinococcota, while the purple color refers to Fusobacteriota. c Phylogenomic inferences of the lineages from the CCTB with 37 conserved protein sequences with different models but without the Archaea genome. I-VI represent Thermotogota, Thermodesulfobiota, Dictyoglomota, Caldisericota, Zhurongbacterota, and Coprothermobacterota. The arrows indicate other bacterial branches. In all trees, the gray squares indicate a bootstrap higher than 0.8.
