Figure 1. Circular representation of the Shewanella piezotolerans WP3 genome.

From the outside inward: the first and second circles show predicted protein-coding regions on the plus and minus strands, by biological role: translation/ribosome structure/biogenesis, pink; transcription, olive drab; DNA replication/recombination/repair, forest green; cell division/chromosome partitioning, light blue; posttranslational modification/protein turnover/chaperones, purple; cell envelop biogenesis, red; cell motility/secretion, plum; inorganic ion transport/metabolism, dark sea green; signal transduction mechanisms, medium purple; energy production/conversion, dark olive green; carbohydrate transport/metabolisms, gold; amino acid transport/metabolism, yellow; nucleotide transport/metabolism, orange; coenzyme transport/metabolism, tan; lipid transport/metabolism, salmon; secondary metabolites biosynthesis/transport/catabolism, light green; defense mechanism, black; general function prediction only, dark blue; function unknown and hypothetical protein, gray. The third circle shows G+C content percentage in relation to the mean G+C% for the chromosome. The fourth circle shows GC skew. The fifth circle shows insertion sequences, retrotransposons (black) and prophage (orange). The sixth and seventh circles show tRNA genes and rRNA operons, with blue or black on the plus strand and red on the minus one.
