Aquifex aeolicus VF5 system diagrams

Original SVG schematics, created 2026-10-24 from selected RefSeq gene-product annotations.
Reference assembly GCF_000008625.1, chromosome NC_000918.1; ece1 NC_001880.1.
Annotation snapshot: 2026-10-24, NCBI genes_ncbi.csv; individual RefSeq protein accessions retained in manifest.json and component-evidence.csv.
Source genome publication: Deckert et al. 1998, doi:10.1038/32831.
Selected records are grouped by annotated function. No essentiality classifications, reduced-genome decisions or counts are imported from the separate minimal-proteome study.
Dashed module links are editorial functional relationships, not measured VF5 protein-interaction edges, fluxes or recruitment orders. Absence from a diagram does not establish absence from the genome.
Published metabolic network: Braakman & Smith 2014, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0087950, original supplementary SBML preserved separately.
Published carbon fixation and branched-chain amino-acid figures: original unmodified CC BY figures from that paper, attributed in the viewer. They include comparative alternatives and uncertainty symbols; captions distinguish them from established VF5 routes.
