Figure 3
Sections of cellulase amino acid sequence alignments containing conserved/active site residues. Catalytic sites are identified by the grey arrows [75, 76]. List of Phasmatodea sequences in Additional file 7, and all others in Additional file 7. Similar sequences from groups of related species were combined into consensus sequences. Red letters show identity with the overall consensus sequence based on conservation of physiochemical properties. Quality is the inverse likelihood of observing mutations based on the BLOSUM62 matrix [54]. Strongylocentrotus purpuratus and Flavobacterium branchiophilum are abbreviated.
