Phylogenetic relationships among the amino acid sequence encoded in therimK gene of T. thermophilus and the related sequences. A total of 164 amino acid sites were considered without gap regions in alignment. The bar indicates 10% difference of amino acid sequence. The DAD accession nos. used in this phylogenetic analysis areL14612-2-1, AE000404-10-1, AF007100-1-1, AF068249-1-1, L38260-1-1,L14862-1-1, U59234-2-1, AE000942-12-1, U67563-10-1, AE001090-1-1,AE001286-7-1, AP000007-36-1, U32828-12-1, X15859-2-1, U39679-12-1,AE000016-2-1, U67510-6-1, U67542-8-1, and AE000094-2-1.
