Figure 3: Solute transport and metabolic pathways in B. burgdorferi.

A schematic diagram of a B. burgdorferi cell providing an integrated view of the transporters and the main components of the metabolism of this organism, as deduced from the genes identified in the genome. The ORF numbers correspond to those listed in Table 2 (red indicates chromosomal and blue indicates plasmid ORFs). Presumed transporter specificity is indicated. Yellow circles indicate: places where particular uncertainties exist as to the substrate specificity, subcellular location or direction of catalysis: or expected activities that were not found.
