FIG. 1.

Genome circle of Granulibacter bethesdensis. The genome is 2,708,355 base pairs long, and the rings, starting inside and moving out, show the following: GC content with sliding 20-kb window; GC skew; ORFs colored by metabolic category (virulence = turquoise, cell wall metabolism = light yellow, stress = light orange, phage = orange, signal transduction = purple, cellular processing = yellow, secondary metabolism = blue, membrane transport = cyan, secretion = teal, motility and chemotaxis = pink, information processing = sage, phosphorus metabolism = olive, nitrogen metabolism = tangerine, coenzyme and cofactor metabolism = saffron, sulfur metabolism = light green, bioenergetics = lime, one-carbon metabolism = beige, aromatic compound degradation = light purple, nucleotide metabolism = light blue, lipid metabolism = lemon, carbohydrate metabolism = rust, amino acid metabolism = peach); RNAs (tRNAs are shown in green, and rRNAs are shown in red); ORFs colored and positioned by orientation (orange, positive strand; and blue, negative strand); yellow shaded areas representing regions undergoing DNA changes across the four isolates, based on chip hybridization data; ORFs present in G. bethesdensis that are unique compared to G. oxydans (black bars); and numeric markers.
