Maximum likelihood phylogeny for C. coralloides MCP proteins. The top homologs of the MCP protein involved in energy taxis and rest of the C. coralloides MCPs were used to generate this represented Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree with organism names in the center ring. The taxonomy lineage at the phylum level is represented in the innermost ring where myxobacterial homologs are in blue text, non-Myxococcales Deltaproteobacteria in green text and other taxa are in red text. The outermost ring presents the Pfam domain organization of each MCP according to their sequence length, and domain color codes are shown in the lower-left corner. Bootstrap values are provided corresponding to the tree nodes as red circles with sizes ranging from one (BS value 1) to 15 (BS value 100)
