Information in this table is based on genomic analysis of incomplete genomes, and care should be taken in interpreting the results on auxotrophies or the partial presence of certain pathways, as these could be due to the incompleteness of the genomes. However, a check mark (✓) denotes that a complete set of genes mediating a specific pathway were identified in the genomes. An ✗ denotes the complete absence of the pathway.
