All CDS of M. thermautotrophicus (86) were searched with the BLAST program against the genomes of all other methanogenic archaea sequenced so far. CDS of M. thermautotrophicus with BLAST hits better than e−15 in all other genomes except that of M. stadtmanae are listed. Only the first CDS is listed when there was more than one hit resulting from different CDS with high levels of sequence similarity in the M. thermautotrophicus genome.
