1ORF # according to the NCBI annotation pipeline for RAST and Prodigal ORF # see Additional files 3 and 4

2disrupted ORF

3predicted sequence does not correspond to any motif detected by SMRT sequencing

4According to REBASE ORF #6540 encodes a Type II RM-system

5In contrast to RAST and Prodigal REBASE predicts a second candidate for a GATC-specific DNA modification methyltransferase for this ORF

Restriction modification systems have been identified as outlined in section “Methods”. Column 1 to 3 denote the number, strand direction and genome position of the ORF as identified by the NCBI annotation pipeline. Column 4 contains the description of the ORF in terms of aggregated annotations from NCBI, RAST and Prodigal. The type and predicted recognition sequence of the motif are shown in columns 5 and 6
