Fig 4.

Comparison of the gene order and orientation of the genomes of L. helveticus ΦAQ113, L. gasseri ΦKC5a, and L. johnsonii ΦLj771 using Mauve genome alignment software. The figure was generated by the Mauve rearrangement viewer. Each of the three genomes is displayed horizontally with homologous locally colinear blocks outlined and connected with lines. The height of the similarity profile inside each block corresponds to the average level of conservation in that region of the genome sequence.
