^aThe distribution of ORFs in the P. aeruginosa, P. putida and P. syringae chromosomes are derived from the original annotation. These numbers, particularly hypothetical and conserved hypothetical proteins, may be significantly different with updated blast searches and annotation.
^bThe genome information for P. syringae represents combined data from the chromosome and two plasmids.
^cUnknown function, significant sequence similarity to a named protein for which no function is currently attributed.
^dConserved hypothetical protein, sequence similarity to a translation of another ORF, however no experimental evidence for protein expression exists.
^eHypothetical protein, no significant similarity to any other sequenced protein.
