Figure 5.

Genome content of R. pomeroyi and 50 other Roseobacter clade members. For metabolic genes, analysis focused on enzymes responsible for the first degradation step. For transporters, analysis focused on the periplasmic substrate-binding protein. Genomes were analyzed at roseobase.org. The phylogenetic tree is based on Luo and Moran (2014), with white circles marking nodes with bootstrap values ⩾50%. Substrate binding protein genes: gltI, putative glutamate/aspartate; uehC, ectoine; xylF, putative xylose.
