Abbreviations of transporters are: TBDT, TonB-dependent transporter; PTS, phosphotransferase system; TRAP, tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic protein.

*

The number of transporters per Mbp of each genome is shown in bracket(s).

The ABC transporters related multiple domains encode as one polypeptide.
