Genome-scale comparison for the three Stenotrophomonas strains. The plant-beneficial strains S. maltophilia R551-3 (top), S. rhizophila DSM14405^T (middle), and the human pathogenic S. maltophilia K279a (bottom). The original genomic sequence of S. rhizophila DSM14405^T was converted into its reverse complement to achieve the same direction for all three genomes. Homologous DNA segments among the strains are marked by boxes with the same color, while gaps correspond to non-homologous regions. There are vast regions of homology between the genome of S. rhizophila DSM14405^T and both S. maltophilia R551-3 and K279a. The figure was generated using nucleotide sequences of the genomes using Mauve 2.3.
