1 = ITC produced by cell-free extract. 2 = SIN degraded but no products found in cell-free extract. 3 = SIN, GTL, GRA, GER degraded by cell-free extract; MYR activity confirmed in vitro. 4 = SIN degraded by cell-free extract; MYR activity confirmed in vitro. 5 = PRO degraded by cell-free extract; ITC found. NT, not tested. * invalid name in the standing bacterial nomenclature, not reassigned to a taxonomically valid genus to date.
