Figure 5From: Phylogeny and molecular signatures (conserved proteins and indels) that are specific for the Bacteroidetes and Chlorobi speciesA summary diagram showing the evolutionary stages where different signature proteins and conserved indels that are specific for the Bacteroidetes and Chlorobi species have likely evolved or originated. Some of the conserved inserts that are specific for these groups or indicate their branching position relative to other bacterial phyla have been described in earlier work [30,43,69].Back to article page
