Proteins that are specific for the Brucella species. Many of these proteins are specific for all sequenced Brucella species (viz. B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. ovis and B. suis), whereas others are present in only 2 or 3 of these species. The proteins only found in a single Brucella species are not listed here.

Additional file 2:

Bradyrhizobiaceae-specific proteins that are missing in some species. For the proteins listed in this table, all significant hits in Blastp and PSI-Blast searches are from Bradyrhizobiaceae species. However, unlike the proteins listed in Table 3, which are present in all sequenced Bradyrhizobiaceae species belonging to the genera Bradyrhizobium, Nitrobacter and Rhodopseudomonas, these proteins are generally missing in species from one of these three genera.

Proteins that are specific for the Sphingomonadales but missing in one or more species. The proteins listed in part (A) of this table are present in three of the following four Sphingomonadales species (Novosphingobium, Erythrobacter, Sphingomonas and Sphingopyxis), where as those listed in part (B) are present in Novosphingobium and either Sphingomonas or Erythrobacter.
