FIGURE 3. Phylogenetic position of Polulichloris henanensis within class Trebouxiophyceae (Chlorophyta), based on 18S rDNA sequences. The analysis was based on reduced alignment with an outgroup formed by the chlorophycean species Chlamdomonas rosae. The tree was inferred using PAUP*4.0 with the TrNef + I + G evolutionary model. Numbers at branches correspond to MrBayes posterior probabilities (BPP)/maximum likelihood (ML) bootstrap values. Values below 0.95 BPP and 50% ML bootstrap support are not shown. Scale bar shows estimated number of substitutions per site.
