Fig. 6: Homology analysis of amino acid sequences encoded by pMCRs carrying T4SSP.

A total of 434 plasmids were evaluated, and the amino acid sequences of 33 core genes from three T4SS gene clusters (MH522411.1(12), KX711707.1(10), MF489760.1(11)) served as references. Plasmids were divided into three groups based on sequence homology.
