Table 1 Number of ORFs associated to the metabolic reactions in the metabolic reconstruction for A. nidulans.

Part of metabolism	No. of previously annotated ORFs [5]	No. of newly annotated ORFs	Total no. of ORFs¹
Biochemical reactions	188	468	656
C-compound metabolism	96	166	262
Energy metabolism	14	40	54
Aminoacid metabolism	40	125	165
Nucleotide metabolism	10	44	54
Lipid metabolism	13	97	110
Secondary metabolism	16	14	30
Nitrogen and sulphur metabolism	2	3	5
Transport processes	6	3	9
TOTAL	194	472	666

¹ The total number of unique ORFs in the metabolic network may be different from the sum of the number of ORFs in the different parts of the metabolism, because there are ORFs which code functions in several parts of the metabolism.
