Predicted enzyme assignments for confirmed organisms Predicted

Inferred from confirmed pathway membership: if an organism is confirmed to carry this pathway, enzymes known to catalyse reactions within it are predicted to be present. The reference confirming the organism’s membership of this pathway is shown. Not experimentally verified. What does this mean?

No predicted enzyme assignments: all confirmed organisms are already linked to the enzymes of this pathway.
