Genetic organization and predicted functions of pLM5578 (A) and the Listeria genomic island 1 (LGI1) (B). Both sequences represent contiguous genetic regions but are split onto two lines for visual clarity, with the site of the artificial segmentation denoted with angled lines. Locus tags are as denoted above the CDS map and predicted gene names (italics) denoted below. Coding sequences are color-coded based on predicted function, with the legend included in the inset. Black-colored coding sequences are similar to L. monocytogenes EGDe (locus tags, lmo) and the imperfect inverted 16 bp repeats surrounding the genomic island are indicated. A nucleotide scale bar for size estimation is included.
