Figure 3From: Metabolic analysis of the soil microbe Dechloromonas aromatica str. RCB: indications of a surprisingly complex life-style and cryptic anaerobic pathways for aromatic degradationNumber of predicted signaling proteins versus total protein count. Microbial genomes, displaying total number of predicted open reading frames (orfs, left axis) and total number of predicted signaling proteins (defined as COG T, right axis). Microbes displaying a high number of signaling orfs relative to total predicted proteins are labelled (above COG T line), as well as two large-sized genomes having a relatively low number of annotated COG T proteins (labelled below COG T line).Back to article page
