Some genomes show two gene copies of dnaK, glpK, and the botulinolysin and phospholipase C genes that are distantly related. (Differences in both gene copies are separated by a slash.) The corresponding GenBank accession numbers of these genomes are listed in Table S2 in the supplemental material.

Data obtained from the whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of strain AIP981.10.

Nucleotide difference between the phospholipase C gene from AIP981.10 and those from C. botulinum C (AB699605), C. botulinum D (AB699604), C. novyi B (not available [NA]), and C. haemolyticum (AF525415), respectively.

Nucleotide difference between the C3 exoenzyme gene from AIP981.10 and those from C. botulinum C (X59039), C. botulinum D (D17555), C. novyi B (NA), and C. haemolyticum (NA), respectively.
