Figure 1

The phylogenetic tree obtained using the endoglucanases and outgrouped by the protein sequence of R. speratus . The NJ (a) and MP (b) tree were generated using program PAUP 4.0 beta 10 Win on 40 aligned amino acids. All the protein sequences are from Table 1. Proteins from hyperthermophilic bacteria and archaea are shown within light blue colored boxes (I). Other proteins from bacteria, fungi and plants are shown within yellow (II) and blue (III) colored boxes.
