SMc03069	-1.6
Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating): D-gluconate 6-phosphate + NADP+→D-ribulose 5-phosphate + CO2 + NADPH (EC 1.1.1.44)
SMc04262	-1.5

Candidate genes for each reaction are identified from best hits to MetaCyc; by matching EC numbers (which are assigned by TIGRFam, SEED, or best hits to KEGG); or by matching SEED roles to KEGG reactions to MetaCyc reactions. See the "Protein" tab of each gene for more information
