Genomic islands and metagenome recruitment of the 673 genome.
The genome of 673 was used as reference to detect genomic islands absent in the other three available and largely synthenic genomes (AltDE, BS11 and AD45). From top to bottom: 1, GC skew, 2, location of tRNA and rRNA genes, 3, regions absent in each genome are indicated by discoloured bands as obtained from a genome atlas plot (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/index.shtml); Yellow/blue squares and blue characters represent genomic islands (GI) larger than 15 Kb present in all the surface isolates but not in AltDE. GIs that are unique to 673 have been highlighted as vertical yellow/red rectangles and red characters, identified by the inferred function whenever possible (on top). The lower four panels indicate fragments recruited in different available metagenomes and their similarity to the homologous region of the 673 genome.
