Thus, the suggestion that the three previously reported classes of arsenate reductases developed through convergent evolution [ 30 ] seems flawed: not only does arsC phylogeny show broad parallels to the accepted 16S rRNA phylogeny, but deep bacterial divisions appear to possess the distinct arsenate reductases that would be expected from divergence from a common origin.
[ 30 ] is that three distinct classes of arsenate reductases exist, which have developed similar mechanisms and reaction centers through convergent evolution.
