a Proposed pathway for fucose or rhamnose in Akkermansiaceae, Puniceicoccaceae or Verruco-01 MAGs. Circles and rectangles represent the genes for different steps for the degradation pathways located in the same locus of the shell proteins (circle) or somewhere else in the genomes (rectangle). Colours indicate whether the genes encoding the different protein sequences were detected in at least one Akkermansiaceae (blue), Puniceicoccaceae (green) MAGs (complete list of detected proteins available in Table S3). Shell proteins in green and purple represent BMC-H and BMC-P components. (1) α-L-fucose, (2) β-L-fucose, (3) L-fuculose, (4) L-fuculose-1-P, (5) dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), (6) L-lactaldehyde, (7) 1,2-propanediol, (8) lactyl-CoA, (9) lactyl-phosphate, and (10) L-lactate. b Abundance values for proteins related to the degradation pathways of fucosidases/rhamnose and BMC components. c Representative BMC gene clusters for Pun4, Akk5, and Ver1 MAGs. Arrows indicate predicted genes in BMC loci and are coloured according to their predicted activity.
