The tRNAs for decoding NYN in the four codon family boxes in the genus Lactobacillus. From the known tRNA genes in the genus Lactobacillus, tRNAs corresponding to Val, Pro, Ala, and Thr codons are shown. The tRNA anticodons present in all Lactobacillus species are shown in red letters, and in some cases the green highlighted anticodon tRNAs are present in addition to the red anticodon tRNAs. In a very small number of species, a tRNAAla harboring the anticodon GGC is present in addition to UGC and CGC anticodon tRNAAla.
