SRI, found high probability candidates for 74 of the 390 pathway holes
in Francisella, and lower probability candidates for many others.
The predicted metabolic pathways of Francisella, as well as its
genome and predicted operons, are available through the FrantCyc
database on the SRI Web site at URL BioCyc. This collection constitutes a
unique resource for biodefense research because of the important role
of metabolic enzymes in drug discovery. As part
