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.
