Figure 5.

(A) Dot-plot of amino-acid-based alignment of a 4.09 Mbp chromosomal scaffold of L. sphaericus OT4b.31 (y-axis) to a 4.6 Mbp chromosome of L. sphaericus C3-41 (x-axis). Aligned segments are represented as dots or lines. Forward matches are plotted in red, reverse matches in blue. Figure generated by PROmer [45]. (B) Nucleotide-based alignment of a 4.09 Mbp chromosomal scaffold of L. sphaericus OT4b.31 (right) to a 4.6 Mbp chromosome of L. sphaericus C3-41 (left). A total of 27 homologous blocks are shown as identically colored regions and linked across the sequences. Regions that are inverted relative to L. sphaericus OT4b.31 are shifted to the right of center axis of the sequence. The origin of replication in each sequence is approximately at coordinate 1. Red bars show the limits of each contig in the chromosomal scaffold. Contigs 1 to 26 are numbered in ascending order start in coordinate 1. The figure was generated by Mauve [46].
