| Erwinia amylovora (AJ233410) | 97 | N-Acetyl-d-glucosamine (E6) band 2 | AF231491 |
| Pseudomonas putida (D85993) | 100 | Glucose-1-phosphate (G6) | AF231492 |
| Acinetobacter haemolyticus (Z93436) | 100 | α-d-Lactose (H5) band 1 | AF231493 |
| Acinetobacter haemolyticus (Z93436) | 99 | α-d-Lactose (H5) band 2 | AF231494 |
| Erwinia herbicola (AB004757) | 97 | l-Asparagine (B8) | AF231495 |
| Erwinia rhapontici (U80206) | 98 | d-Galactonic acid γ-lactone (A11) | AF231496 |
| Enterobacter asburiae (AB004744) | 98 | d-Galacturonic acid (B7) | AF231497 |
The two sequences obtained for Erwinia amylovora and Acinetobacter haemolyticus are assumed to represent different rDNA operons from the same bacteria.
