Across bacterial phyla, distantly-related genomes with similar genomic GC content have similar patterns of amino acid usage.

PloS one - 10 Mar 2011

Lightfield John, Fram Noah R, Ely Bert

Abstract excerpt

The GC content of bacterial genomes ranges from 16% to 75% and wide ranges of genomic GC content are observed within many bacterial phyla, including both gram negative and gram positive phyla. Thus, divergent genomic GC content has evolved repeatedly in widely separated bacterial taxa. Since genomic GC content influences codon usage, we examined codon usage patterns and predicted protein amino acid content as a...
