Schematic circular diagrams of chromosomes I and II of A. salmonicida LFI1238, where appropriate categories are shown as pairs of concentric circles representing both coding strands. Key to the chromosomal circular diagrams (outside to inside): scale (in Mb), annotated CDS, unique CDSs compared to the other Vibrionaceae species (red), orthologues shared with the other Vibrionaceae species (green), IS element transposases (purple), % G+C content, G+C deviation (>0% olive, <0% purple). Colour coding for CDSs (according to predicted function): dark blue, pathogenicity/adaptation; black, energy metabolism; red, information transfer; dark green, surface associated; cyan, degradation of large molecules; magenta, degradation of small molecules; yellow, central/intermediary metabolism; pale green, unknown; pale blue, regulators; orange, conserved hypothetical; brown, pseudogenes; pink, phage + IS elements; grey, miscellaneous. The positions of phage elements and GIs larger than 5 kb are marked (red) and labelled in accordance with Table 2.
