Circular plot of the P. priestleyi BC1401 genome ordered according to L. boryana PCC 6306. Rings are as follows (outer - inner): 1) Mapped contigs, contigs containing genes putatively involved in EPS biosynthesis and export are highlighted in red; 2) Annotated genes are shown in dark grey, outer = plus strand, inner = minus strand; 3) putative wspR homologues are shown in dark grey, contigs are highlighted in blue; 4) alg44-like genes that are components of ABC-transporters are shown in dark grey, contigs are highlighted in blue; 5) other alg44-like genes are shown in dark grey, contigs are highlighted in blue. Wedges show locations of putative gene clusters involved in Wzy-, ABC-dependent-, Wsp- and other non EPS specific polysaccharide biosynthesis/export pathways
