Figure 4.

Conservation of glucose and glycerol transporters, and metabolic enzymes. (a) Presence (gold)/absence (gray) map of OprB proteins. (b) Presence (yellow)/absence (gray) map of GalP proteins. In both panels, (a and b), dendrograms were generated based on hierarchical clustering analysis. Y‐axis: strains clustering; x‐axis: protein clustering. (c) Conservation of glycerol metabolism operon. Aligned are only operon sequences contained within intact contigs. The gene symbols relate to putative functions: glpF—membrane diffusion facilitator for glycerol; glpD—aerobic G3P dehydrogenase; glpK—cytoplasmic glycerol kinase; glpX—fructose‐1,6‐bisphosphatase; fba—fructose‐bisphosphate aldolase; glpR—repressor of the glp regulon. (d) Number of glp genes in Komagataeibacter genomes. (e) Multiple sequence alignment of GlpR protein. Panels c and e generated using CLC Sequence Viewer
