Figure 2.1
Phylogenetic tree (neighbour joining algorithm) of 67 cyanobacterial strains
with known genome sequence. The tree is divided into the large groups of alpha- and
beta-cyanobacteria. The colour bars represent whether or not genes for compatible
solute biosynthesis (Suc - sucrose; Tre - trehalose; GG - glucosylglycerol; GGA - gluco-
sylglycerate; GB - glycine betaine) were found in the genome sequences (see
Table 2.1
).
Dotted bars indicate that the pathway is only incomplete. See the colour plate.
