The proximity of Thermotogota to Synergistota is well-resolved in both trees. GTDB, which includes "Ca. Bipolaricaulota", supports its proximity to Deinococcota. However, the two trees do not appear to support the proximity between these two two-phylum groups.
Hao et al. (2018), using a CheckM genome tree constructed out of 43 marker genes, instead finds that "Ca. Bipolaricaulota" branches between Thermotogota and Synergistota, with Deinococcota branching relatively far away. [14]
