The unified map shows that some genomes may be missing steps from `Lactose` to `D-Tagatose-6P` in the tagatose-6-phosphate pathway, an alternative to the Leloir pathway for lactose catabolism found in some lactic acid bacteria. The individual maps show that strain ATCC29212 is missing three consecutive steps; OG1RF and V583 are missing two consecutive steps. When sequential reactions catalyzed by different enzymes are missing from a pathway in a closed genomic assembly while present in related genomes, it compellingly suggests that the genes and biological capacity are not in the genome rather than absent due to technical issues of orthology annotation. +The following map grid uncovers aspects of `Galactose metabolism` among the genomes of six *Enterococcus faecalis* strains.
