Aliases for analyzed Shewanella strains are described in Table 1. Each cell in the table combines the data on the predicted and experimentally determined sugar utilization phenotype. The ability of Shewanella species to grow on a panel of sugar substrates was predicted based on the presence (+) or absence (-) of the respective reconstructed pathways in their genomes. The experimental results of growth experiments from this study (see additional data files 7 and 8) are: 'p', positive growth; 'w', weak growth; 'n', no growth. Inconsistencies between the predicted and experimentally determined growth phenotypes are in bold and marked by asterisk.
