Abstract
Phylogenies based on nine prokaryotic catalase sequences demonstrate n o relationship to phylogenies based on rDNA sequences or other known c riteria. When this observation is considered together with the monophy letic relationship observed for eukaryotic catalase sequences, it seem s likely that the catalase gene sequence has migrated repeatedly from eukaryotes to prokaryotes.
