Distribution of carbohydrate metabolism and transport protein families in A. vinelandii and pseudomonad genomes. The number of intra-genome protein families (identified using OrthoMCL) assigned to the functional categories a) carbohydrate metabolism and b) carbohydrate transport in the genomes of A. vinelandii DJ and 15 fully sequenced strains in the genus Pseudomonas. This illustrates that for carbohydrate metabolism the number of synologs is clearly higher in the A. vinelandii genome compared to the Pseudomonas strains included in this study. The total number of families for each genome is shown as stacked columns, with block patterning indicating the number of proteins in the identified families. Members of the same intra-genome protein family were regarded as synologs.
