Numbers of specific proteins for A. amazonense genome against six closely related genomes.

Comparisons	A. amazonense
	Specific CDS	Conserved CDS	Other CDS
Azospirillum brasilense	3,689	948	859
Azospirillum lipoferum	3,606	746	1,144
Azospirillum sp. B510	3,571	793	1,132
Rhodospirillum centenum	3,697	770	1,029
Caulobacter segnis	4,043	382	1,071
Bradyrhizobium japonicum	3,880	317	1,299

The in silico subtractive hybridization analysis was performed with A. amazonense total coding sequences (CDS) against the proteins from the six genomes.
Proteins with homology () value less than 0.42 and more than 0.64 were arbitrarily defined as specific and conserved CDS, respectively, and other CDS were defined with values between 0.42 and 0.64.
