Figure 3. An E-Pae encoded pathway for the catabolism of plant-derived aromatic compounds.
Shown is a 20 kb section of a 46 kb E-Pae contig (GenBank: ACXT01000012) which contains putative genes encoding enzymes for the catabolism of benzoate via the catechol branch of the β-ketoadipate pathway (Indicated by red arrows). Full details of the predicted genes based on blastp searches are shown in Table 1. Regions of sequence identity with other P. syringae genomes (with a significance threshold of 1e-10) are indicated by the green bars. Grey arrows indicate uncharacterized proteins.
