From: Dynamic evolution of selenocysteine utilization in bacteria: a balance between selenoprotein loss and evolution of selenocysteine from redox active cysteine residues

Figure 1

Distribution of selenium utilization traits in different bacterial taxa. The tree is based on a highly resolved phylogenetic tree of life derived from a concatenation of 31 orthologs occurring in 191 species with sequenced genomes [23]. We simplified the complete tree and only show the bacterial branches. Phyla containing the majority of Sec-decoding organisms are shown in red.
