Organization and the pathway of genes related to the metabolism of carbohydrate substrates in the genome of five Erysipelotrichaceae isolates. a Organization of the genes related to the metabolism of 13 carbohydrate substrates in the genomes of five strains. Each arrow indicates a coding sequence (CDS) involved in the carbohydrate metabolism. All arrows were colored according to their functional roles. The detailed information about gene represented by each arrow is listed in Table S6 and the box under this Figure. “//” indicates a gap between two genes > 5 Kb. b The pathway for transport and catabolism of N-acetyl- galactosamine (GalNAc) in the five strains. The pathway was plotted with the relevant enzymes named by their gene symbols. c Phylogeny of Erysipelotrichaceae strains using the protein sequences encoded by genes in the pathway of GalNAc metabolism. The phylogenetic dendrogram was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method (1000 × replicates) and exhibited by FigTree
