Marine adaptation genes in the marine Novosphingobium strains. (A) Partial genomic map of Novosphingobium strains containing the ectoine biosynthesis gene cluster. The inner ring represents the reference sequence, a 20 kb region of marine strain US6-1. Outer shows the shared identity if present according to BLASTN with an E-value cut-off of 0.001. Green arrows indicate genes associated with ectoine biosynthesis. Blue arrow indicates a gene coding for hypothetical protein that may be relevant to salt-tolerance. (B) Interproscan protein domain scanning result suggesting the presence of sodium: alanine symporter function in the hypothetical proteins (Blue arrow, A) which are uniquely shared by the marine strains US6-1 and PP1Y.
