a Locus name, protein name, definition and function were used from B. pseudomallei strain K96243 and obtained from Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) (www.genome.jp/kegg/)
b Location of the respective gene in the genome of B. pseudomallei K96243. Chr. 1 = chromosome 1; Chr.2 = chromosome 2
c Shows length and/or expressed part of the respective protein. Proteins were expressed without signal sequences and membrane domains. aa—amino acid; total—whole protein
d Tag indicates the used C-terminal amino acid sequence used for purification. Strep–Strep-tag; His–His-tag
e Protein location was determined by PSORTb 3.0.2 (Prediction of Protein Sorting Signals and Location Sites in Amino Acid Sequences) http://www.psort.org/psortb/
c–cytoplasm, e–extracellular, m–membrane, om–outer membrane, p—periplasm
