Bayesian phylogeny of Acetobacteraceae 16S rDNA. Phylogeny is based on a filtered alignment of 1,248 nucleotide positions. Bayesian inference was based on the GTR + Γ + PInv model of nucleotide substitution and analyses run for 10,000,000 generations. Values at nodes reflect posterior probabilities after a 25 % burn-in. Taxa are colored based on lifestyle and host group: monophyletic ant-specific AAB clade (green); gut associates of various insects (orange); free living taxa (black). The host name is listed after the bacterial taxon name. 16S rDNA sequences of AAB1 from C. chromaiodes and C. castaneus (included in the tree shown) differ by two nucleotides. Sequences of AAB1 from C. chromaiodes and C. pennsylvanicus were identical over the region sequenced (E. coli coordinates 828–1046). Roseomonas terrae is the outgroup
