Fig. 4

Plasmid repertoires and approximate locations of plasmid partitioning genes. The proportionate sizes of the plasmids found in each isolate are graphically depicted. The replicons are named based on topology (lp = linear plasmid, cp = circular plasmid) followed by the size to the nearest kilobase. The breaks in the megaplasmids, denoted by the discontinuity found on the left side of the megaplasmid, are of 80 kb except for B. anserina BA2 which was not broken. The approximate location of the PF32, PF49, PF50, and PF57/62 plasmid partitioning genes and their orientations are also shown with triangles facing right for positive-sense and left for negative-sense. This figure highlights the possibility of past fusion events on plasmids that have multiple plasmid partitioning gene(s) of the same type. Created with BioRender.com
