Gene tree among Archaea- Methanosarcina species
(M.acetivorans, M.barkeri and M.mazei) and Eubacteria- Yersinia
species (Y.frederiksenii and Y.pestis); Myxobacteria species
(S.cellulosum, M.lichenicola, S.aurantiaca, N.exedens, and
M.xanthus); Vibrio species (V.cholerae, V.parahaemolyticus and
V.mimicus); S.Typhimurium; Escherichia coli species (Strain
161,110, ECOR70, ECOB, ECOR35 and ECOR58) and msDNAEc73
specific RT from Enterobacteria phage phiR73 based on
the RT amino acid sequences. Here, ND-indicates that the
strains were not tested for msDNA production and the (+) sign
indicates the presence of msDNA. The distance between
sequences is located just beside each RT. The following ExPASy
accession numbers for the RT sequences were used in the
phylogenetic construction: (M.acetivorans-Q8TMH8, M.barker-
Q46BR7, M.mazei-Q8PTN0); (Y.frederiksenii RT-Yf79-C4SUU2,
Y.pestisQ7ARB2); (S.cellulosumA9GPU1, M.lichenicola- Q50210,
S.aurantiaca Q08Y90, N.exedens Q8VRM1, M.xanthus-Q1D0F5);

coli species strains 161 (RTEc83, Q47526); 110 (RTEc78,
