Figure 2From: The two authentic methionine aminopeptidase genes are differentially expressed in Bacillus subtilisEvolutionary trend analyses of MAP, ClpP, Def, RpsD and YkrB. Map, ClpP, Def, RpsD and YkrB were picked up from B. subtilis. Their BBHs from other Firmicutes were detected. Their protein divergence (sequence similarity divided by sequence length difference) in B. subtilis and their orthologs from other Firmicutes were compared with bacterial evolutionary distance individually (measured by 16S rRNA evolution).Back to article page
