Figure 2From: The missing link: Bordetella petrii is endowed with both the metabolic versatility of environmental bacteria and virulence traits of pathogenic BordetellaeB. petrii syntenic plot. Syntenic plot between the genomes of B. petrii strain DSMZ12804, B. bronchiseptica RB50, B. parapertussis 12822, B. pertussis Tohama I and B. avium 197N. The diagram depicts x-y plots of dots forming syntenic regions between B. petrii (x-axis) and the three other Bordetella genomes (y-axis), with coordinates corresponding to the CDS number in each genome. Each coloured dot (green, B. bronchiseptica RB50; orange, B. parapertussis 12822; lilac, B. pertussis Tohama I; red, B. avium 197N) represents a B. petrii strain DSMZ12804 CDS having an orthologue in one of the three compared genomes. The orthologues were identified by bi-directional best BLASTP matches of amino acid sequences (e-value < e-30).Back to article page
