P.3 left column top paragraph: "[Investigators] know that eubacterial genomes range in size from less than 0.6 Mb to greater than 9 Mb [primary source]. The number of accessory or adaptive proteins maintained in various genomes is therefore highly variable and in fact indicates a lot about the environment and selective pressures each organism faces." Mb=10^9 bases |
