Comparison of the primary structures of alanine racemases in the
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum group and Levilactobacillus
brevis.
(A) Alignment of the primary structures of the amino acid racemases of L.
plantarum IYO2092, IYO2179, and JCM1149T. (B) Alanine racemase
phylogenic tree. Sequences of different types of strains were employed as a
reference. The reference sequences of L. plantarum, L.
paraplantarum, L. pentosus, and L.
brevis were obtained from GenBank. L. casei was employed
as the outgroup species. The accession numbers of the reference species are
indicated in the figure.
