Figure 5.

Protein sequences alignment of tannase of Lp. plantarum (KRL35904) and Lp. pentosus (QAB08722) using the free software GeneDoc v2.7 [197]. Identical residues are shown in black; the non-identical—are in grey and white; dashes indicate gaps introduced to maximize similarities; the asterisk means consecutive counting of ten amino acids. The Serine residue participating in the conserved amino acid motif Gly-X-Ser-X-Gly), and Asp and His of the active center triad are shown in red boxes; the putative signal peptide of Lp. plantarum tannase is green-dashed underlined.
