Figure 2. Essential Pseudomonas aeruginosa genes and functional classes.

Figure 2

A: Comparative identification of essential genes in P. aeruginosa. In strain PAO1, 645 genes have been identified as essential (purple circle) whereas in the ordered transposon library of strain PA14, 1,454 genes were considered essential (green circle) [16]. Using a criterion off <10 sequencing reads from the InSeq analysis of strains growing in LB as indicative of an essential gene, 636 genes were classified as essential in strain PA14 (blue circle). Table S1A gives a complete listing of the essential genes from the three different analyses. B: Evolution of the number of reads in each functional class from the LB to the ceca and then to the spleens. The 5,977 genes of PA14 were classified into 27 functional classes [20]. Among a total number of sequencing reads normalized at 1,000,000, the prevalence of reads corresponding to each functional class is presented in the input LB, the output Cecum and the output Spleen.
