I think it will be useful if the Protologger overview can inform users about the completeness of amino-acid biosynthetic pathways in their input organism (like what GapMind tool already does at https://papers.genomics.lbl.gov/cgi-bin/gapView.cgi). Users can for example analyze their MAGs/SAGs on Protologger and based on the absence of genes for the synthesis of specific amino-acids, they can perform targeted cultivation-based approaches (as in better design of cultivation media with the missing amino-acids extraneously added) for any of their potentially auxotrophic (as-yet-uncultivated) organisms. Besides, I think it is still informative to see a sentence in the protologue commenting about the organism's ability to synthesize all amino-acids or the lack thereof.
