Gene clusters related to nitrogen fixation and plant association in H. seropedicae. The genomes of strains Z67, WT00C, AU14040 and AU13965 were aligned through blastn and visualized using the ACT tool. (a) The nitrogen fixation gene cluster of the SmR1 strain is located between a gloA gene duplication. This gene set is absent in the AU14040, AU13965 and WT00C genomes, in which only one copy of gloA was found. The upstream region is also absent and flanked by the fabG gene. (b) The type 3 secretion system (T3SS) is also absent in AU14040 and AU13965. In both cases, the genes flanking the absent genomic regions are conserved between strains
