Comparison of the GC content of the whole genome with that of hms/pga loci in five bacterial species

Species Whole genome GC (mol%) hms/pga loci GC (mol%) Difference in GC (mol%)
Y. pestis KIM10+ 47 % 49 % 3 %
E. coli MG1655 50 % (51 %)* 46 % (44 %)* 4 % (7 %)*
P. fluorescens Pf-5 63 % 67 % 4 %
X. oryzae KACC10331 63 % 63.4 % 0.4 %
Pectobacterium atrosepticum SCR11043 51 % 49 % 2 %

*GC (mol%) in parentheses are values calculated and published by Wang et al. (2004).
