FIG 5.

Comparison of genome regions including galU, galE, glf, and gt2 genes in the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster. The two loci involved are represented. Only locus 1 is found in M. capricolum subsp. capricolum with highly similar organization in M. capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae and M. leachii. The two loci are flanked by conserved clusters of genes, named pepQ, ilvA, opp, and rplK clusters, and used in the schematic representation as milestones. Homologous genes are represented as boxes with the same color. Pseudogenes are represented with vertical stripes in the background. The locus tag of one M. mycoides subsp. capri LC gene is indicated as a reference for each locus, to facilitate association with the text and other figures.
