Phylogeny of some shape-determining proteins across representative bacteria.

The species are grouped by family. For each species, typical cell shape is shown (not drawn to scale), along with the presence or absence of the protein as encoded in the genomic sequence. The presence or absence of MreB, MreC, MreD or RodZ in different species as identified by STRING COG was described in [61]. STRING COG was also used to identify DivIVA homologs. DivIVA is absent in all the Gram-negative species listed, but some members of the Gram-negative δ-proteobacteria contain DivIVA orthologs.
