Analysis of genes potentially involved in agar biosynthesis. Gene homologs in the agar biosynthetic pathways in Gp. lemaneiformis compared with those in C. merolae, N. gaditana, E. siliculosus, C. reinhardtii and P. tricornutum. The colored squares denote the number of homologous genes in each species. The step numbers and their representative enzymes are 1. phosphoglucose isomerase; 2. phosphoglucomutase; 3. UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; 4. galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; 5. UDP galactosyltransferase; 6. phosphomannose isomerase; 7. phosphomannomutase; 8. GTP-mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase; 9. GDP-mannose-3,5-epimerase; 10. GDP galactosyltransferase; 11. UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase; 12. GDP-mannose-3,5-epimerase (the same as 9)
