Numbers indicate percentage of protein sequence identity with the corresponding protein of strain GSU5. Red cells indicate that the gene is present in the corresponding strain and absent in GSU5. Blank cells indicate absence of the gene in the corresponding strain. Genes code for the proteins indicated as follows, crt: crotonase;bcd : butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase; etfAB: electron transfer flavoprotein; hbd : 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase;thl : acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase; but : butyryl-CoA: acetate-CoA transferase; ptb : phosphotrans butyrylase;buk : butyrate kinase; ald : aldehyde dehydrogenase;adh : alcohol dehydrogenase; bdh : butanol dehydrogenase;adhE : bifunctional aldehyde/ alcohol dehydrogenase; pta : phosphotrans acetylase; ak : acetate kinase; ctfAB : acetoacetyl coenzyme A:acetate/butyrate:coenzyme A transferase;adc: acetoacetate decarboxylase. Accession numbers for each genome are indicated in table 1.
