FIG. 1.

Comparison of translated sequences of RDH genes detected in cultures KB1 and VS and strains FL2, CBDB1, and 195. Highly similar sequences (∼93 to 100% amino acid identity) in different strains are grouped in the same row. The percent identity compared to the sequence in KB1 is shown in parentheses. The phylogenetic relationship among the proteins is indicated by the most parsimonious cladogram to the left of the table. The KB1 sequences that were detected in cDNA are listed in Table 3. Highly similar homologues found in three or more cultures are shaded. No extensive RDH gene survey has been conducted with culture VS, and vcrA is the only reported sequence.
