Figure 1. Alignment of the twelve hypothetical proteins encoded in the 8325-4 genome with homology to SA0282.

The sequences were aligned using ClustalX and the alignment was visualized using the TEXshade package [51]. The top panels shows identical (blue), similar (pink) or non-conserved residues (white). The bottom panel shows each sequence on a single line with vertical gray scale lines indicating identical (black), similar (gray), or non-conserved residues (white), and with an indication of a variable region with little sequence identity.
