A Whole Genome Pairwise Comparative and Functional Analysis of Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA

Table 2

Core genome of Geobacter spp. classified based on their functional classes. This classification shows a high number of electron transport proteins, ATPase, and signaling and membrane proteins to be conserved across Geobacter  species. These electron transfer proteins and membrane proteins play a significant role in electricity production.
