a The information related to the bacterial genera which cause gastrointestinal diseases was extracted from References [171,172,173,174,175,176,177,178,179,180,181,182,183]. Unreviewed indicates flavodoxin sequences reported as such in Uniprot. No scientific literature about them was found. b Essential flavodoxin according to the DEG database [160].
