English: Metabolic reconstruction of Vampirovibrio chlorellavorus.
Metabolic predictions for V. chlorellavorus based on genes annotated by IMG/ER (Markowitz et al., 2009). Solid and dashed lines represent single or multiple steps in a pathway respectively. Black ovals indicate substrates that enter the glycolysis pathway. Fermentation end-products are indicated as black rectangles. V. chlorellavorus is capable of oxidative phosphorylation as it contains a complete TCA cycle and electron transport chain. Biosynthetic products are shown in green (amino acids), red (co-factors and vitamins), purple (nucleotides), and orange (non-mevalonate pathway products). Serine (highlighted in blue) is not able to be synthesised and is presumably transported into the cell. ATP-binding cassette transporters are highlighted in yellow and permeases, pumps and transporters are highlighted in orange. The direction of substrate transport across the membrane is shown with arrows. Putatively highly expressed genes and complexes are bolded. V. chlorellavorus is missing all recognised photosynthesis genes including those for Photosystems I and II, chlorophyll and antennae proteins.
