 | | The inter-relationships amongst Campylobacterales as deduced from these molecular signatures are in accordance with the phylogenetic trees based on the 16S rRNA and concatenated sequences for nine conserved proteins. |
 | | Within ε-proteobacteria, two main orders, Campylobacterales and Nautiliales, are presently recognized [8,10,12,24] The Campylobacterales is made up of three families, Campylobacteraceae, Helicobacteraceae and Hydrogenimonaceae, whereas the Nautiliales order is comprised of three genera (Nautilia, Lebetimonas and Caminibacter) [8,10,12,24]. |
 | | The identified signature proteins and indels comprise rare genetic changes that have been introduced at various stages during the evolution of Campylobacterales (ε-proteobacteria) and their species distribution patterns are supported by the branching order of these species in phylogenetic trees. |
