1. Genomic rearrangements of E
Genomic rearrangements of E. coli TolC in comparison with the most closely related strains.
Genomic rearrangements of E. coli TolC in comparison with the most closely related strains. The complete genome of E. coli TolC was compared to the genomic sequences of E. coli K-12 MG1655 (A), E. coli ER1821R (B), E. coli NCM3722 (C), E. coli K-12 W3112 (D), and E. coli MG1655 JW (E), and structural rearrangements were visualized using Easyfig (65). The relative locations of individual reference genes (in comparison to E. coli tolC in panel A) are indicated by gray arrows on the respective chromosomes (black horizontal lines). The nucleotide sequence identities, as determined using BLAST+, are indicated by different colored spectra: blue to red for translocations, and green to orange for inversions. Blue/green and red/orange indicate the highest (100%) and lowest (63%) detected sequence identities, respectively.
