Examples of inter- and intrapathway modules of genomically associated reactions. (A) Arginine and histidine pathways. Red, arginine biosynthesis module; blue, histidine biosynthesis module; dotted line, arginine plus histidine biosynthesis module; black (spe genes), spermidine/putrescine biosynthesis, not in any cluster. (B) Purine (Lower) and pyrimidine (Upper) pathways. Blue, hybrid purine–pyrimidine module; green, GMP module; black, nonassociated isoenzyme. (C) Fucose and rhamnose pathways and clusters. Fucose pathway, solid lines; rhamnose pathway, dotted lines; colored (red and blue), two clusters. (D) Aromatic amino acids and folate pathways. Folate pathway: dotted (Left); aromatic amino acids, solid (Left); enterochelin, dotted (Right); menaquinone, solid (Right). Interpathway clusters: aromatic/folate, red; enterochelin/menaquinone, blue. (E) Cystein and methionine biosynthesis. (Left and Center) Cysteine. (Right) Methionine. Horizontal, one-carbon metabolism (partial). Clusters are colored in red, blue, and green.
