Sequence alignment of PbChi74 from P. barengoltzii with other bacterial chitinases. Numbers on the left are the positions of the first amino acids in each line. The other listed sequences include the chitinases from Paenibacillus sp. FPU7 (BAM67140), Paenibacillus alvei (WP_005546068), Bacillus circulans (AAF74782), and Kurthia zopfii (BAA09831).
