Glucan Water Dikinase (GWD) phylogenetic tree. The tree shown is a maximum likelihood tree with ultrafast bootstrap values mapped onto the nodes. The tree is rooted with the Phosphoglucan dikinase (PWD) sequences. Sequences are colored according to their taxonomic affiliation: Viridiplantae are in green, Glaucophyta are in turquoise, Rhodophyta are in dark red, Cyanobacteria are orange and other Bacteria are in gold, Cryptophyta are in pink, Goniomonas avonlea is dark red and bolded, Haptophyta are in purple, Stramenopiles are in dark blue, Alveolata are in blue, Rhizaria are in light blue. Some bacteria (in gold) could have obtained their GWD gene by LGT. The GWD homolog from Go. avonlea branches close to its counterpart in Rhodophyta and Glaucophyta; GWDs in Cryptophyta appear more distantly related. The scale bar shows the inferred number of amino acid substitutions per site
