Figure 4.
Phylogenetic tree of the stator subunits MotB and MotS of the flagellar motor from Bacillus spp. using the NJ method. A phylogenetic analysis of the flagellar motor stator of the genus Bacillus was performed. BT-MotS is shown in red. The Na+- and K+-coupled stator subunits, BT-MotS and BA-MotS are enclosed in ocher. The Na+-driven stator is surrounded by yellow-green, and the H+-driven stator is surrounded by light blue. The details are described in the Materials and Methods section. The scale bar indicates the number of amino acid substitutions per site. The numbers between the branches indicate the bootstrap values. Accession numbers for each protein are described in the Materials and Methods section. EC: E. coli, BS: B. subtilis, BO: B. oceanisediminis, BA: B. alcalophilus, BT: B. trypoxylicola, BP: B. pseudofirmus, BH: B. halodurans, BC: B. clausii, BCS: B. cereus, BTH: B. thermoamylovorans, BM: B. megaterium, and BF: B. flexus.
