1. Gene content comparison between B. anthracis pXO1/pXO2 and B
Gene content comparison between B. anthracis pXO1/pXO2 and B. cereus strain 03BB102 plasmids.
Gene content comparison between B. anthracis pXO1/pXO2 and B. cereus strain 03BB102 plasmids. The connecting lines show the presence and location of shared genes, while the gray scale represents the level of nucleotide identity. p03BB102 carries a cap locus (~5.1 kbp) that shows 93% nucleotide identity to the cap locus in reference plasmid pXO2 (B. anthracis “Ames ancestor”; GenBank accession number AE017335) and is flanked by IS elements. A duplicate homolog of pagA and pagR genes is also present in p03BB102, with one homolog showing 99% identity to its pXO1 B. anthracis homolog (B. anthracis “Ames ancestor” GenBank accession number AE017336) for both genes, while the second shows 92% and 94% identity, respectively.
