Proteins in the trehalose synthesis family. Analyzed species are: A. fumigatus, A. nidulans, A. niger, A. oryzae, A. terreus, Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Neurospora crassa and S. cerevisiae. All proteins from filamentous fungi have their accession number included. For A. niger and previously characterized gene products, given names are also included. This phylogenetic tree was built using the neighbor joining algorithm with 32 000 bootstrap replicates. Based on sequence identities, the S. cerevisiae Tps1 protein was selected by the software as outgroup. Optional settings or use of other algorithms gave identical, or very similar, results.
