Figure 2.

Phylogenetic relatedness of dispersin B homologues based on pairwise alignments of the amino acid sequences listed in Table 1. The alignment was generated using ClustalW, and the phylogenetic tree was generated using FastTree software. Lacto-N-biosidase from Lactococcus lactis (GenBank accession number AGY45663.1) was used as an outgroup to locate the root of the tree. Horizontal branch lengths are proportional to the number of amino acid differences in the pairwise alignments. Bacterial families are indicated on the right.
