39 proteins were identified by ML analyses. The proteins are grouped according to the observed tree topologies in the maximum likelihood analyses. The bootstrap support (ML) for the indicated clades is given. For 20 genes (in bold letters) this is to our knowledge the first detailed phylogenetic analysis. See Additional File 2 for an extended version of Table 1 including tree topologies.
