Phylogenetic dendrogram indicating the position of LipSm as the first characterized member of the novel family XVIII. Latin numbers in parentheses indicate family indexes. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted with algorithm MEGA. The evolutionary history was inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. Scale bar indicates substitutions per site
