*Group 1 (Yellow): Related to the processes behind the assembly/formation of cell projections (like flagella)

*'''Group 1 (Yellow)''': Related to the processes behind the assembly/formation of cell projections (like flagella)

*Group 2 (Light Brown): Related to the biosynthetic and metabolic processes that involve branched chain family amino acids

*'''Group 2 (Light Brown)''': Related to the biosynthetic and metabolic processes that involve branched chain family amino acids

*Group 3 (Light Blue): Involves the synthesis of nitrogenous bases (purines), and related metabolic processes

*'''Group 3 (Light Blue)''': Involves the synthesis of nitrogenous bases (purines), and related metabolic processes

*Group 4 (Dark Blue): Involves processes/reactions that incorporate ligand binding. One term involves interactions with thiamine pyrophosphate, which is a derivative of thiamine (an essential vitamin); thiamine pyrophosphate is a catalyst of many important biochemical reactions. The other term involves the synthesis of acetolactate from 2 pyruvates via an enzyme (acetolactate is involved in the biosynthesis of several branched chain amino acids).

*Group 5 (Salmon): Involves the development of certain structures in the flagellum (distal rod of the "flagellar basal body"); the distal rod is an important flagellar structure that is transmembrane and it is connected to the other parts of the flagellum (like the filament/cap)

*Group 6 (Green): Involves the biosynthetic/metabolic processes related to pigments (pigment production)

*'''Group 6 (Green)''': Involves the biosynthetic/metabolic processes related to pigments (pigment production)

*Group 7 (Grey): Involved with the hydrolysis (catalysis of the process) of the carbon-nitrogen bonds (non-peptide) in linear amidine and amide compounds

*'''Group 7 (Grey)''': Involved with the hydrolysis (catalysis of the process) of the carbon-nitrogen bonds (non-peptide) in linear amidine and amide compounds

*Group 8 (Bold Black Borders): This group is composed of somewhat miscellaneous terms that did not have clear relationships with each other and with other terms (in MAPPfinder). Two of the three terms are involved with monocarboxylic acids (transport and transport activity across membranes). The final term is extracellular region and is related to the space outside of the bacterium in question.
