A pectin-like PUL of G. echinicola DSM 19838T and other Flavobacteriaceae. A similar PUL was identified in Flavobacterium johnsoniae UW101T by McBride et al. [16]. Locus tags are given below both the first and last gene of the loci. Accession numbers in brackets are GenBank accession numbers of the corresponding contig. Investigation of syntenic loci was done using MultiGeneBlast [57]. A description of glycoside hydrolase (GH), polysaccharide lyase (PL) and carbohydrate esterase (CE) families can be seen at the CAZy homepage [58, 59]. The pectin-like polysaccharide decomposition pathway, encoded by these genes, is shown in Figure S6 in the Additional file 2.
