Fig. 5

a Circular plot of genes under potential positive selection. Innermost inward bars, number of recombination per gene; innermost outward bars, number of mutations per gene (red bars, n ≥ 4); outer red lines, location of highly polymorphic genes; outer blue line, location of genes with convergent mutations. b Schematic diagrams depicting the distribution and frequency of non-synonymous mutations in zur and tetR1/2, and the recombinations around tetR1/2. Hom. homozygous mutation, Het. heterozygous mutation, Rec. recombination (strip colors represent donor subspecies corresponding to Fig. 2a). Source data are provided as a Source Data file. c Schematic representation of mutations in LOS biosynthesis genes and corresponding morphology of the mutant strains. Genes were colored according to their functions. Green, genes involved in polyketide synthesis; orange, acyltransferase; cyan, glucosyltransferase. fs frameshift. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
