Fig. 1 Phylogenetic analysis of the malate synthase protein. (a) Phylogenetic tree of selected protein sequences matching the Legionella drancourtii malate synthase. The analysis was performed using the maximum likelihood method. The tree was rooted on the midpoint. Bootstrap values are indicated at the nodes. (b) The 245 amino acid-long ORF of Acanthamoeba castellani was integrated to the previous tree.
