Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Evidence for a Cryptic Plastid in the Colpodellid Voromonas pontica, a Close Relative of Chromerids and Apicomplexan Parasites
Figure 2
Maximum likelihood phylogeny of plastidic phosphate transporters.
Support for nodes is indicated by % bootstrap support (out of 1000) in the ML analysis and by posterior probabilities from two Bayesian analyses, one employing the LG model of amino acids substitution, and the other using the CAT model (RAxML LG+Γ+F/Phylobayes LG+Γ/Phylobayes CAT+Γ), where greater than 50% bootstrap support or 0.9 posterior probability. Black dots on branches indicate full support from all three analyses for the adjacent node, i.e. 100/1.0/1.0. The subject of this study, Voromonas pontica, is indicated by white text on a black background. Experimentally apicoplast-localized proteins are indicated by bold text. Hatch marks indicate a branch whose length has been reduced by half. Aside from the primary plastid pPTs enclosed by the lower shaded box, all sequences belong to secondary, rhodophyte-derived plastids.
