MAUVE alignments of the Thermus scotoductus SA-01 chromosome with (A) Thermus thermophilus HB 27 (middle) and HB8 (bottom) chromosomes (B) HB27 (top) and HB8 (bottom) pTT27 plasmids. Chromosomes and plasmids were aligned simultaneously but are shown separately for clarity. Approximate positions of inserts which were identified as putative islands are indicated as red bars, the blue bar is the largest insert which was not identified as an island. See Additional file 1, Table S1 for more detail on other inserts.
