Fig. 5: Alignment of integrative and conjugative elements with tet(X) in Flavobacteriaceae.

Yellow arrows indicate the ORFs. Shading area between different sequences indicate the aligned regions. Location of the tet(X) gene and the region responsible for conjugative transfer are labeled. ICE sequences aligned in this figure, from top to bottom, were from tet(X)-positive strains Chryseobacterium indologenes CI6, Chryseobacterium bernardetii CB1, Chryseobacterium sp. C3, Elizabethkingia anophelis EA1, Elizabethkingia anophelis EA3, Elizabethkingia meningoseptica EM1 and Chryseobacterium lactis CL2, respectively.
