Fig. 5

Subcellular distribution of Chr 1 and Chr 2 in V. cholerae. Core genes are spatially enriched in the intracellular region near the old pole. Coloured core gene clusters (related to motility, peptidoglycan biosynthesis and ribosomal proteins) represent core gene products that co-localize with growth/survival-related reactions in the old pole of the cell. Two replication origins on Chr 1 indicate multifork replication. Active growth zones are indicated with blue dashed lines along the axis of the cell. Small dashes illustrate fast peptidoglycan growth and long dashes illustrate slower growth
