  1. aIGS1 and OspC sequences are defined as in Travinsky et al. [88] and Barbour and Travinsky [79], respectively. Chromosome right ends are named as in Fig. 6b, except right end type names M and L without a number (e.g., M vs. M-1) indicate that right end restriction fragments have the same size as other group members by Southern analysis, but the termini have not been sequenced. In the case of strains 28534 and 29968 additional restriction mapping confirmed that these strains have L-1 type chromosome right ends, although they have not been sequenced
  2. bIn the table, (i) numbers in the lp38, lp36 and lp56 columns indicate the size of the observed electrophoretic plasmid DNA band in kbp, and in the sequenced genomes the plasmid subtype is given in parentheses ([8] and data not shown); (ii) dashes (−) denote that the plasmid is either missing or did not react with the strain B31 templated Southern probes that were used ([8] and data not shown); and (iii) “np” indicates that a plasmid of this type is not present in the genome sequence.
  3. cComplete genome sequence is known
  4. dSequence is closest to this OspC type, but is not identical to the prototypical member of that type
  5. e26 kbp is the lp36 portion of the apparently end-to-end fusion of lp36 and lp28-4 plasmids in strain CA-11.2A (see text)
  6. fStrain 29805 lp36 is similar in size to that in B31 but has quite different sequence organization (see Additional file 1: Figure S2L and text)
