Schematic comparison of the Lactococcus phage genomes sequenced in this study. Arrows represent predicted genes and are coloured according to their putative function (indicated above each arrow). Genes encoding packaging proteins are in light pink; head morphogenesis, light blue; tail morphogenesis, green; TpeX-encoding genes, yellow, RBP-encoding genes, orange; host cell lysis, red; orfs of unknown function, grey; HNHE-encoding genes, pink; annotated functions of the early and middle genome region are in navy blue. The genomes of phages bIBB29, p2 and sk1 are shown as references. The grey shading between genomes represents tblastx matches according to the BLAST identity scale (%).
