  • aThe genomes chosen for comparison were based on two attributes: (1) The majority of the top BLAST hits of A. cellulolyticus proteins were from these species (see Supplemental Fig. S2); and (2) both mesophilic and thermotolerant species were represented.

  • bThe two transposase genes are frame-shifted fragments of an intact gene found in Frankia and thus are unlikely to encode a functional transposase in A. cellulolyticus.
