Syntenic comparative genomic analysis data using the complete genome sequences of the strains AOP6, WTL and DDH964. A, the strain AOP6 versus WTL. B, the strain AOP6 versus DDH964. Red- and blue-colored strain names in A and B show those strains stimulated by using the crystalline Fe (III) oxide and anode as the electron acceptors, respectively. Symbols next to the scale show the positions of pseudogenes (black crosses), as well as those of the genes responsible for the biosyntheses of the multiheme c-type cytochromes (red dots) and transponsases (grey dots), while bands next to the links show the positions of gene clusters responsible for the biosyntheses of the flagellum (yellow), chemotaxis system (magenta) and cytochrome c oxidase (green), as well as that of the prophage (sky blue). Links associated with the two genomes show homologous genes in same (red) and reverse (blue) directions. The gradient color of the link shows the identity between the amino acid sequences deduced for the homologous genes
