| Abstract |
The phylogenetic placement of the phylum Deferribacteres was investigated on the basis of gene order comparisons of completely sequenced bacterial genomes. Two completely sequenced Deferribacteres species share five sets of gene arrangements with a group of phyla, Proteobacteria, Aquificae, Planctomycetes, Spirochaetes, Bacteroidetes, Chlorobi, Acidobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Elusimicrobia and Nitrospirae, while the other group of phyla, Synergistetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Thermotogae, Chloroflexi and Deinococcus-Thermus, Fusobacteria, shares alternative sets of gene arrangements, suggesting that the Deferribacteres is classified in the former group of phyla. Gene transfers that are thought to have occurred in a common ancestor of the Deferribacteres, Deltaproteobacteria and Nitrospirae exclusive of virtually all other phyla were identified, which suggests that the Deferribacteres is phylogenetically proximal to the Proteobacteria and Nitrospirae. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 October 2013.
All research outputs
#7,453,126
of 22,785,242 outputs
Outputs from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#534
of 2,023 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#33,577
of 94,206 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#2
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,785,242 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,023 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 94,206 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 7 of them.
