1 Number of CO-dehydrogenase genes present in the genome that are homologous to the CO-dehydrogenases commonly found in bacterial ACS/CODH or in archaeal ACS/CODH.
2 Number of CO-dehydrogenase genes present in a gene context that suggest it is part of acetyl-CoA synthase/CO-dehydrogenase complex.
3 It is predicted that candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator is a sulphate reducer based upon genome sequence [73].
4 Genbank accession number for Desulfobacterium autotrophicum.
