(A) Arrangement of bacA and lmdC genes in species whose BacA homolog has a proven role in cell morphogenesis. (B) Co-conservation of BacA and M23 peptidase genes across different bacterial phyla. Bioinformatic analysis was used to identify genomes that contained a bactofilin gene located next to an M23 peptidase gene. After retrieval of the taxonomy IDs of the corresponding species from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website, a phylogenetic tree of the species was created using the iTOL server (Letunic and Bork, 2021). Abbreviations: DT (Deinococcus-Thermus group), FCB (Fibrobacteres-Chlorobi-Bacteroidetes group), β (β-proteobacteria), δ (δ-proteobacteria). The full list of species used and details on the genes identified are provided in Figure 7—source data 1.

Figure 7—source data 1. List of bactofilin-M23 peptidase gene clusters identified in bacterial genomes.
The dataset includes the genome accession numbers and species, the accession numbers of the predicted bactofilin and M23 peptidase homologs as well as the genomic coordinates and orientations of the respective genes.
