ok i looked at the blog, and then i looked at the scientific paper it cited.
the writer of the blog dishonestly represented the data. On the original paper, it doesn't say no homolog, it says "none yet known". I assume he does this because most people do not have access to scientific papers? Have you tried to search google scholar for this? Or is it behind a paywall?
Haven't read the entire paper (as it's long and i'm in the middle of something), but i think it just means the scientists haven't found homologs yet, which is not surprising because there are a lot of proteins in a bacteria, these things take time and you may want to search for follow up research, since the paper he quoted is 2006.
