Figure 3.

Genome structure comparison of pKF3-140 with pIP1206. Corresponding blocks from these two plasmids were shown according to the gene contents or sequence similarities. Blocks below the line in the plasmid pIP1206 genome indicated that the sequence in the block was in a reverse direction compared to the corresponding region in the plasmid pKF3-140. Density and height of colored lines in the box illustrated the gene density and their similarity. The denser and higher lines represented more genes and higher similarity between the sequences. Regions outside blocks were lack of detectable homology between the two plasmid genomes.
