From: Towards a molecular understanding of symbiont function: Identification of a fungal gene for the degradation of xylan in the fungus gardens of leaf-cutting ants

Figure 2

Xylanase sequence. cDNA and protein sequence of the LgXyn1 xylanase gene in the Leucoagaricus gongylophorus fungal symbiont of the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex echinatior. Numbering of amino acids and nucleotides starts from the start codon (ATG). The position of the single intron of this gene is indicated by an arrow, and the stop codon is indicated by an asterisk.
