FIG. 3.

Similarity relationships between 12 Mollicute genomes. Connecting lines inside the circle denote BLAST matches between nodes, with each node representing a protein sequence. Connected nodes are shown in green. The color of the connecting line indicates the degree of similarity between nodes as follows: red, a score between 0.9 and 1.0; yellow, a score between 0.8 and 0.9; blue, a score between 0.7 to 0.8; and light gray, a score of <0.7 (PhyloGrapher software). The order of nodes, or protein sequences, in the graph was arranged according to the topology (shown outside the circle) grouping the 12 mollicute genomes. The abbreviations of the mycoplasma species are explained in Table 2, footnote b. Phy, Phytoplasma.
