Fig. 4: Bxd gene cluster in microbacteria.
From: The lactonase BxdA mediates metabolic specialisation of maize root bacteria to benzoxazinoids
a Overlap of candidate genes for AMPO formation identified by three approaches: orthogroups, kmers and RNAseq. b Position of identified candidate genes in the genome of Microbacterium LMB2. A zoom-in of the benzoxazinoid degradation (bxd) gene cluster, annotated with its gene architecture including all genes named bxdA to bxdO is shown. c Synteny plot of the genomic region across microbacteria samples where the bxd gene cluster is found. The gene cluster can be categorized into four types (type I, type II, type III and type IV) based on their gene order, gene content and chemical phenotype.
