The accession numbers for the different species are NC_010655 (A. muciniphila), NC_009614 (B. vulgatus), NC_004663 (B. thetaiotaomicron), NC_010729 (P. gingivalis), NC_000921 (H. pylori), NC_004350 (S. mutans), NC_011593 (B. longum subsp. infantis).

These numbers (percentages) represent the protein coding genes that encode a putative signal peptide.

3

These numbers (percentages) represent the protein coding genes that encode a putative signal peptide and lack a predicted function.

The candidate mucin-degrading enzymes are categorized into four broad categories; glycosyl hydrolases (GH), proteases/peptidases (P), sulfatases (Su) and sialidases/neuraminidases (Si). For details of the list, see Table S2.
