From: Variation in global codon usage bias among prokaryotic organisms is associated with their lifestyles
The ability of an organism to live in multiple habitats is the feature most correlated with the extent of codon usage bias. The 518 prokaryotes were divided into two groups - organisms who each live in a specialized environment and organisms who each live in multiple habitats - and the CAIave values of the different groups were compared. CAIave is indicated as 'Average CAI'. CAI: Codon Adaptation Index; GC: genome content.
