Crustin antimicrobial peptides in malacostracans. a Graph of putative crustin transcripts. The y-axes represent total number of genes identified in all 55 malacostracan species for each family. Each species is represented by a number on the X-axes and a complete list of species is available in Additional file 3: Table S2. Black horizontal bars below each graph delimit the five orders of malacostracans and the numbers in parentheses (x/y) represent the following: x = number of species in which a particular gene family is found and y = total number of species in each order. b Phylogenetic tree of crustins is constructed using the maximum-likelihood method from an amino acid multiple sequence alignment. Taxa labels are depicted as their respective colour codes. Bootstrap support values (n = 1000) for all trees can be found in Additional file 26: Figure S14. Scale bar represents substitution per site. c Multiple sequence alignment of crustins showing the crustin domain and the WAP domain within it. The WAP domain is characterised by 8 conserved cysteine residues marked in red boxes. The crustin domain, which includes the WAP domain contains four additional cysteine residues marked in red boxes
