Table 2.
COGs conserved in the acidic cluster of the multimodal distribution. P(a) and P(b) are the frequency of occurance in the acidic and basic clusters respectively, F is the function group. The COGs are listed with their P(v) which is score of their variability between the acidic and basic clusters of the pI distribution weighted by their frequency of occurance across all genomes in the dataset. pI values of four organisms – the extremophiles Buchnera (environment bacteriocyte), Halobacterium (highly acidic – high salt), and E. coli and H. pylori – intestinal bacteria with different environmental pH.
