| Core genes also recovered from the “strict-sharing” analysis (Table 1) are indicated by an asterisk. The latter analysis (30 genes in the set) also includes aspS (aspartyl-tRNA synthetase), dnaX (DNA polymerase III γ/τ, or replication factor C), ftsH (ATPase involved in cell division), and rpsl (ribosomal protein S9). |
