a
Percent values were obtained from pair comparisons with the Gap program (settings: gap weight, 12; length weight, 12).
b
When the proteins are known or suggested to be involved in polysaccharide synthesis or export, two protein names are shown, a name according to the nomenclature proposal in reference 34 and the one used in the original description of the protein.
