FIG. 2.

Multiple alignment analysis of putative active sites of α-Gal sequences from microorganisms producing family 36 glycosyl hydrolases. Sequences from Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014 (melA L.plan), Pediococcus pentosaceus (aga1 P.pent), Bacillus stearothermophilus (agaN B.stea), Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus (melA T.etha), Carnobacterium piscicola (agaA C.pisc), Escherichia coli (rafA E.coli), and Bifidobacterium adolescentis (aga B.adol) are shown. The gene denomination precedes the species acronym at the beginning of each line. The last amino acid number is at the right end of each sequence.
