For example, the statement ‘Tenericutes 19’ means that there is experimental evidence for at least 19 MetaCyc pathways for their occurrence in members of this taxonomic group. Major Taxonomic groups are grouped by domain and are ordered within each domain based on the number of pathways (number following taxon name) associated with the taxon. A pathway may be associated with multiple organisms.
