Prediction of outer membrane proteins. All proteins from the five chlamydial proteomes of C. caviae GPIC, C. trachomatis D/UW-3/CX, C. muridarum Nigg, C. pneumoniae AR39 and P. amoebophila UWE25 as well as E. coli K12 and B. subtilis subsp. subtilis were subjected to the prediction approach for the identification of outer membrane proteins. Solid green lines indicate subsets of proteins included in further analysis; solid red lines indicate protein subsets excluded from further analysis; dashed black lines indicate negative result obtained with the respective prediction programs. Total numbers of proteins for all five chlamydial organisms and E. coli, respectively, are shown.
