Evolution of chitin synthases (CHS). A ML phylogeny based on 222 amino acid alignment positions of 157 sequences was constructed with PhyML using NODC proteins and Hyaluronan synthases as outgroups. Bootstraps of interest ≥60 are shown above the branches. Black circles with a + correspond to root nodes of the subtrees detailed in another figure. Horizontal gene transfers (HGT) are indicated on the branches leading to transferred sequences. The Bayesian phylogenetic approach gave similar results (Additional file 15: Figure S7). The abbreviations used in sequence names are listed in Additional file 13: Table S6. (*) Acanthamoeba and Ichtyosporea sequences were also described in this group [43]. (**) Picochlorum sp. sequence is also present in this group [50]
