  1. aThe numbers of homologs were determined by blastp searches (with default values for the parameters).
  2. bThe number of cheA homologs in the genomes of G. met. and G. ura. includes a contribution from one cheAY fusion.
  3. cThe numbers are cheY genes in the major clusters. Numbers in parentheses also includes genes that encode for singleton CheY-like receiver domain proteins.
  4. dChemotaxis gene clusters are defined to contain three or more che genes.
