[i] A + or − indicates the presence or absence, respectively, or a gene indicated by microarray data, alongside the subsequent analysis data.

[ii] Putative insertion identified by PCR, rather than a deletion.

[iii] Sequence analysis suggests the presence of an anaerobic dimethyl sulphoxide reductase ortholog adjacent to Cj1584.

[iv] Analysis of sequence data adjacent to Cj0564shows no matches with any database entry.
