FIG 4 .

Conservation of predicted sRNAs in different clostridial species. (A) The number of predicted sRNAs in representative strains that are conserved in other clostridial species which includes all substrains. The number in parentheses next to the strain name is the total number of predicted sRNAs in each strain. (B to E) sRNA conservation between different clostridial species. Because an sRNA sequence may have multiple conserved sequences in another organism, the number of sRNAs conserved between two organisms could vary. The common number of sRNA sequences between the three species in each Venn diagram is the maximum number of conserved sRNAs in the three species, and the number in parentheses is the minimum number of conserved sRNAs in the three species.
