The location of predicted coding regions colour-coded by biological role, RNA genes, and tRNAs is indicated. Arrows represent the direction of transcription for each predicted coding region. Numbers associated with tRNA symbols represent the number of tRNAs at a locus. Numbers associated with GES represent the number of membrane-spanning domains according to the Goldman, Engelman and Steitz scale as calculated by TopPred49. Only proteins with five or more GES are indicated. Members of paralogous gene families are identified by family number. Transporter abbreviations: mal, maltose; P, gly and bet, proline, glycine, betaine; glyc, glycerol; aa, amino acid; E, glutamate; fru, fructose; glu, glucose; s/p, spermidine/putrescine; pan, pantothenate; Pi, phosphate; lac, lactate; rib, ribose; ?, unknown.
