Fig. 4: Metabolic capability of the CCTB ancestor and its diversification.

From: Identification of a deep-branching thermophilic clade sheds light on early bacterial evolution

Fig. 4

Illustration of metabolic features of the CCTB ancestor and different bacterial lineages from the CCTB (Supplementary Data 6), the hydrothermal vent here indicates that these bacteria might have originated from similar environments on early Earth but under adaptation radiation during their evolutionary history. Pro proteins, Sac. saccharides, OC organic carbon.
