Phylogenetic tree of PKS KS domains of social amoebae. The domains were extracted from the PKS proteins using hmmer models of DD-specific domains (Zucko et al. 2007). A ClustalW alignment was fed in the phylogeny software puzzle (Schmidt and von Haeseler 2007) and confirmed by neighbor-joining analysis using PHYLIP (Felsenstein 1989).
