Fig. 2

Neighbour-joining dendogram showing the relationship of translated ws/dgat sequences (278 amino acids positions) obtained from Patagonian marine sediments with reference sequences. The tree was calculated with a representative of each sequence type defined at 0.01 distance cut-off. For environmental sequence types, numbers in < and > symbols indicate the total number of sequences in the corresponding library from which they were retrieved. The accession numbers of reference sequences and environmental clones obtained in this study are indicated. Acyltransferase from Thermobispora bispora was used as outgroup. Relevant bootstrap values (1,000 replicates) higher than 50% are shown.
