Genome alignment and phylogenetic analysis of P. aeruginosa strains. A) Total 58 phylogenetically useful genes in Pseudomonas spp., which carries more than 10 parsimony informative sites, were selected to construct a phylogenetic tree [27]. The sequences of these strains were aligned by ClustalW [76], and a maximum parsimony (MP) phylogenetic tree was constructed by MEGA 4 [70] with bootstrap 1000. B) Genome alignment of P. aeruginosa M18 and other P. aeruginosa strains. Line figures depict the results of whole genome alignment results using MUMer [29]. The query genome sequence was the strain M18, and the subject genomes were the strains, LESB58, PAO1, PA14, and PA7. The red lines represent direct alignment, and the blue lines represent reverse alignment, respectively.
