Figure Lengend Snippet: Catalase gene fragments from Yellow Sea surface seawater obtained by PCR with C3 + CB − primers
Article Snippet: The degenerate primers guaranteed that all the amplified genes belonged to small-subunit catalases, but only one type of catalase belonged to clade 1 and other six types of enzymes belonged to clade 3. table ft1 table-wrap mode="anchored" t5 Table 2 caption a7 Catalase name Most similar catalase in Genbank by BLASTx search Classification of catalase-owning strain Group of monofunctional catalase Number of catalases YS9.30.6 Nitrococcus mobilis Nb-231 catalase ZP_01126602 Gammaproteobacteria Clade 3 7 YS9.30.3 Marinomonas sp.
