FIG. 1.

Partial genome maps of strains SF370, Manfredo, and CS101. ORFs are indicated by open boxes placed above the line (transcribed left to right) or below the line (oppositely transcribed). The percent nucleotide identity (nt id) between pairs of sequences was established by pairwise BlastN 2 and is depicted for regions showing ≥70% identity. The percent nucleotide identity is presented for SF370 versus Manfredo and for Manfredo versus CS101. Strain CS101 displays 98% nucleotide identity with SF370 at bp 112089 through 114912 (data not shown). The vertical dotted lines depict the boundaries for high nucleotide sequence identity. The distance scale (in kilobases) is shown for strain SF370; distances for Manfredo and CS101 are presented for easy visual alignment but are not drawn precisely to scale. In SF370, the emm locus lies ≈283 kb from SPy0123 (hsp33).
