a

A chromosome is defined here as a replicon harboring rRNA operons and essential genes.

b

The 2.65-Mbp replicon, which does not meet our definition of a chromosome, is included here (see Results).

c

Includes transfer-messenger RNAs, signal recognition particle RNAs, suhB, riboswitches, and miscellaneous features.
