Phylogenetic analysis of the L. drancourtii sterol delta-7 reductase matches. Unrooted phylogenetic tree of protein sequences matching the L. drancourtii sterol delta-7 reductase protein. Three distinct clusters were identified: a cluster contained delta-7 sterol reductases implicated in cholesterol biosynthesis in eukaryotes (blue), a cluster contained C24 sterol reductases implicated in ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi (green) and a third cluster contained C14 sterol reductases implicated in both biosyntheses (red). Bootstrap values are indicated at the nodes.
