Fig. 6From: Complete genome sequence of the heavy metal resistant bacterium Agromyces aureus AR33T and comparison with related Actinobacteria Circular visualization of the whole genome comparison of A. aureus AR33T, other Agromyces spp., related members of the same family and class. The figure was designed using BRIG [31]. The gaps in the circles represent regions of low or no similarity and contain the following features: (1) siderophore biosynthetic gene cluster (desferrioxamine-like); (2) metal related genes like transporters for Pb/Cd/Zn/Hg and for the resistance to As; (3) non-ribosomal peptide synthase modules (pyoverdine-like siderophore) and ABC siderophore transporters; (4) several hypothetical proteins, Mg/Co/Ni transporters, Co/Zn/Cd resistance genes; (5) several hypothetical protein and phage sequences that were detected also in PHAST [36]; (6) Co/Ni transporters, pathway for aromatic compound degradation, transporters for branched chain amino acids; (7) Pb/Cd/Zn/Hg transporters, resistance genes for Cu/Co/Zn/As/Cd, a phage integrase; (8) genes for the production of exopolysaccharides; (9) several hypothetical proteins; (10) Na + H+ antiporters; (11) ABC transporters for Co and heme/siderophore complexesBack to article page
