The phylogenetic tree shows the result of a COBALT‐NCBI alignment of FA desaturase protein sequences from various organisms. The tree shows the three classes of desaturase: acyl‐ACPdesaturases from R. communis (P22337), C. sativum (P32063.1), T. alata (Q41510), P. hortorum (Q40879) (dashed red box); Acyl‐lipid desaturases from Synechochystis (Q53551), A. variabilis (Q79F72), A. thaliana (P46310), B. cereus (A0A164RBC8) (dashed light blue box); Acyl‐CoA desaturases from T. brucei (Q38AQ3), A. thaliana (A0A1P8AN77), S. cerevisiae (P21147), H. sapiens (O00767), A. domesticus (cricket) (B7SB91) (dashed purple box). The protein sequences were obtained from the UniProtKB database.
