Figure 2

Sequence similarities between Phi-191 and other vtx -phages. The picture shows the results of the BLAST local alignments using Phi-191 as a query against the vtx-phage sequences with 99% to 60% similarity listed in Table 1. The colours codes blue, green, orange and red represent the overall quality of the aligned segments along the phage sequences, evaluated on the basis of the bit-score values in the worst-to-the-best order (blue to red). The bit-score is a normalized version of the score value returned by the BLAST searches, expressed in bits [28]. The height of the coloured bars in the histogram on the top of the Phi-191 ideogram shows how many times each colour hits a specific fragment of the other phage sequences. A twist in a ribbon indicates that the local alignment is inverted (query and database sequence on opposite strands).
