Extended Data Fig. 10: Proposed metabolic pathway and related gene clusters for benzene-CoA degradation in ‘Ca. Methanoliparum’.
From: Non-syntrophic methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation by an archaeal species

a, Gene clusters found in the four representative MAGs with potential for benzoyl-CoA degradation. Numbers in the gene clusters indicate kilobases. b, Annotations and Locus tag for the corresponding genes shown in panel a that are found in the representative MAG of ‘Ca. M. thermophilum’ (XY_C20_T55_P2_bin.5 of Cluster 1). c, Proposed pathway for the degradation of benzoyl-CoA based on the pairwise comparison of the candidate genes of ‘Ca. Methanoliparum’ (red) with the genes involved in benzoyl-CoA degradation in the model organisms Thauera aromatica (green) and Rhodopseudomonas palustris (blue). The letters for candidate genes of ‘Ca. Methanoliparum’ refer to the letters indicate in the panel a (see Supplementary Table 10 for more details).
