Figure 2. Complete alignment of plasmid sequences.

Figure 2

Whole-sequence alignment of 14 plasmids of genus Listeria as computed by Mauve [59]. Relevant loci are marked specifically. These include genes involved in heavy metal detoxification (copper, cadmium, arsenite), multidrug resistance (MDR: SMR, MATE), phage defense (R/M systems, Abi), oxidative stress response, an incomplete type IV secretion system (T4SS), a PemIK stable inheritance module, a Kdp-type potassium transport system and a sequence duplication. It should be noted that Mauve was not able to identify all homologies due to algorithmic limitations.
