FIG 5 .

Overview of the metabolic pathways encoded by the S. pleomorpha and S. globosa genomes. Shown are the primary energy generation pathways, diversity of carbohydrate metabolism pathways, biosynthesis genes for amino acids and fatty acids, and cell wall features encoded by both genomes. Pathways not found in the genomes, such as those encoding flagellar and two-component signal transduction systems related to motility, are in red. The substrates and pathways found exclusively in S. pleomorpha are in green. Transporters related to carbohydrate metabolism (in blue), metal ion transport and metabolism (in gray), and phosphate and nitrogen uptake (in yellow) are also shown.
