Amino acid sequences corresponding to several genes from Rhodobacter sphaeroides were aligned against the translated DC3000 genome using tblastn on the NCBI’s BLAST server [26]. For each R. sphaeroides gene, the gene from P. syringae DC3000 containing the highest scoring alignment is listed along with the percentage of identity between the two genes, along with the predicted function of the gene.
