Extended Data Fig. 3: Distribution of CelOCE orthologs across bacterial and archaeal phyla.
From: A metagenomic ‘dark matter’ enzyme catalyses oxidative cellulose conversion
Phylogenetic tree illustrates the distribution and potential evolutionary history of CelOCE-like proteins across diverse microbial taxa, encompassing 406 microbial species from 37 bacterial and archaeal phyla. The tree was constructed based on 402 complete genomes from the NCBI RefSeq database and 4 MAGs generated in this study (in red). The ‘Candidatus Telluricellulosum braziliensis’ MAG harboring the celOCE gene is denoted as SBS.bin.55 and indicated with a red asterisk. Phyla with fewer than two species (Thermosulfidibacterota, Thermodesulfobacteriota, Nanoarchaeota, Nitrospirota, and Calditrichota) are unlabeled, except when closely related to the CelOCE-containing MAG.
