FIG 5.

Key genes involved in basic energy pathways (glycolysis and TCA cycle) and waste degradation of Bartonella and core bacteria, as suggested by genomes. (A and B) Presence or absence of genes underlying glycolysis and TCA cycle in genomes of Bartonella (n = 6), a winter Bartonella strain (n = 1), and core bacteria (Gilliamella, n = 61; Snodgrassella, n = 9; Lactobacillus Firm 4, n = 2; Lactobacillus Firm 5, n = 13; and Bifidobacterium, n = 15) from honey bees. (A) Glycolysis; (B) TCA cycle. Colored boxes indicate presence; white boxes indicate absence. (C and D) Bartonella and core bacteria varied in copy numbers in genes involved in degradation of fermentation products (lactate, acetate, and ethanol). (C) Lactate; (D) ethanol and acetate. The numbers in the boxes represent gene copy numbers.
