International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology vol. 58, part 11, pp. 2654 - 2659
Supplementary Fig. S1. Typical morphologies of sporangioles and swarms in different Sorangium strains. (a) Spherical sporangioles packed in yellow fruiting bodies on the whole swarm of So0133-4. (b) Spherical sporangioles packed in orange fruiting bodies at the swarm edge of So9881. (c) Spherical sporangioles packed in black fruiting bodies on the whole swarm of So0089-1. (d) Scattered fruiting bodies embedding spherical sporangioles on the swarm of So0157-52. (e) Polyhedral sporangioles packed in deep-brown fruiting bodies at the centre of swarms of So9741. (f) Polyhedral sporangioles packed in deep-brown fruiting bodies on the whole swarm of DSM 14731. (g) Unpacked spherical sporangioles scattered in swarms of So0139-5. (h) Small extension of swarms of So0157-24 from filter paper. (i) Large extension of swarms of So0184-1 from filter paper. Bars, 1 mm (a) [applies to (a)–(f), (h) and (i)] and 50 µm (inset in a) [applies to insets of (a)-(f) and to (g)].
Supplementary Fig. S2. Multiple alignment of Sorangium 16S rRNA gene sequences. The open and filled boxes respectively represent conserved and variable regions of bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences (Neefs et al., 1991). Numbers below the boxes indicate the positions of Sorangium 16S rRNA gene sequences, labelled according to the sequence numbers of the 16S rRNA sequence in Escherichia coli (Neefs et al., 1991). Divergent nucleotides are highlighted.
