General Information

General Information	Comment	Organism
evolution	genotyping of single copy gene encoding BchF in Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Gemmatimonadetes. Phototrophic Chlorobi usually carry two or three paralogues of BchF, with a second form named BchV. The different versions of BchF in Chlorobi are thought to aid in the synthesis of enantiomeric forms of bacteriochlorophyll c, d, and e that are characteristic of this phylum. Bacteriochlorophyll a cannot be synthetized without BchF and because BchF is only and exclusively found in those bacteria that make bacteriochlorophyll a, the phylogeny of this enzyme is, in consequence, the most direct piece of evidence for the origin of phototrophy based on bacteriochlorophyll a. Phylogenetic analysis, overview. The ancestral form of BchF originated early during the evolution of bacteria at a point in time that predated the diversification of the major groups of anoxygenic phototrophs	Chloracidobacterium thermophilum
