Fig. 1 Schematic maps of pHN39-SIM. Genes are denoted by arrows and coloured based on gene function classification. The innermost two circles present the GC-Skew [(G−C)/(G+C)] and the GC contents. Shown also are the backbone and the accessory modules, in blue and red, respectively.

Fig. 2 The multidrug-resistance (MDR) region of pHN39-SIM with comparison to similar elements. Genes are denoted by arrows and coloured based on gene function classification. Shading regions denote shared DNA regions of homology (>98% nucleotide similarity).
