Table 1. Identification and proposed function of putative sulfur uptake and assimilation genes of A. ferrooxidans. The best BlastP hit of each putative protein in the non-redundant GenBank is shown. A = % similarity, B = e value and C = score of proposed gene to its best BlastP hit and and D = GO classification (Gene Ontologies, http://www.geneontology.org/ webcite)
