Hello Maria,

you will need an additional step to convert codons to amino aids, but in this database you can find the codon usage for a lot of micro-organisms:

http://www.kazusa.or.jp/codon/

Using this information you should be able to calculate the percentages you're looking for.

Maria Rompf

Thanks Christian, exactly what I was looking for.
