Figure 7. Maximum likelihood tree of the translated protein sequence of the predicted Hypothenemus hampei GDSL lipase/acylhydrolase gene (scaffold7971.1) with homologs from eubacteria, animal, and insect proteins.

The GDSL family lipolytic protein from the archaebacteria Methanosphaerula palustris is included as an outgroup. The H. hampei protein clearly clusters with the eubacterial proteins. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (100 replicates) are shown next to the branches. Evolutionary analyses were conducted using MEGA6.
