Equol Production Gene Cluster Organization. A diagram showing the organization of the detected equol production gene clusters organized based on their phylogenetic relationships. Phylogenetic relationships between the species based on a concatenated tree of conserved single-copy genes are shown on the left. Equol production gene clusters are shown on the right-hand side, with all gene clusters shown at the same scale. Only one representative gene cluster is shown for each of the species. The gene cluster shown for CAG-1427 is the gene cluster identified in CAG-1427 sp000435475 and represents the gene clusters of both CAG-1427 sp000435475 and CAG-1427 sp900556585
