†The percentage of amino acid identity per site from analysis between sequences is shown. All results are based on the pairwise analysis of 13 sequences (pairwise deletion option). Analyses were conducted by using MEGA version 4 (24). The final dataset contained a total of 287 positions. GenBank accession numbers are given in the Materials and Methods section.
