  • (++) Reconstruction is complete in the current version of KEGG; (+) reconstruction becomes complete by assigning a homologous gene; (2.6.1) reconstruction becomes complete by assuming wider specificity for an enzyme; (?) the pathway apparently exists but all missing enzymes are not yet resolved; (−) the pathway does not appear to exit.
