Fig 1.

Mauve alignment of L. plantarum ATCC 202195 gene FEE41_08190 to the 10 most homologous sequences in NCBI. The relative height and color of the bar at the top of the figure indicate the percent identity across all 11 sequences, with green indicating high homology, yellow indicating homology in some sequences, and red indicating no homology. The black lines indicate unique base pairs. The region of the gene that is amplified using the primers and probe designed in this study is outlined with a black box and magnified. Unique base pairs are shown in bold, and the SNP in the probe sequence is highlighted in red.
