The Genome Sequence of Methanohalophilus mahii SLPT Reveals Differences in the Energy Metabolism among Members of the Methanosarcinaceae Inhabiting Freshwater and Saline Environments
Table 3
The distribution of genes involved in the energy metabolism of members of the Methanosarcinaceae shows a correlation with the occupied habitat. The designation of genes is based on the proposed scheme of Rohlin and Gunsalus [42]. Phenotypic characteristics of the listed species were taken from Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology [43]. Abbreviations: Msc, Methanosarcina; Mco, Methanococcoides; Msl, Methanosalsum; Mhb, Methanohalobium; Mhp, Methanohalophilus; +, genes present; −, genes not detected; (+), genes are present, but known to be silent. Note: at the time of writing, the genome sequence of Methanohalobium evestigatum (CP002069) was only available as draft.
