^aInformation on species growth-rate are retrieved from Rocha²⁴.

^*All selected datasets have matching species strains between protein abundance, GtRNAdb, NCBI and RNA-Seq data, with the exception of L. interrogans (SRX2448246) due to the lack of a second RNA-Seq data in GEO Datasets for strain Fiocruz L1-130. All cultures in RNA-Seq experiments were isolated during log phase of growth. The first listed SRX dataset was selected for all analyses, and both were used for Table 1 and Fig. S4.
