A Metagenomic Study Highlights Phylogenetic Proximity of Quorum-Quenching and Xenobiotic-Degrading Amidases of the AS-Family
Figure 7
QsdB within the amidase signature (AS) family.
Phylogenetic relationship between twenty AS-family members including the metagenomic NAHL-amidase QsdB was inferred using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the JTT matrix-based model. Percentage of the replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (500 replicates) is shown next to the branches. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site.
