FIGURE 2.

Cell-wall anchored proteins identified in food associated Staphylococcus spp. strains producing proteinaceous biofilms (A–D). The diagrams show the predicted organization of protein subdomains. All proteins except UafA from strain ATCC 15305 (in panel C) were encoded on multiple contigs in the genome assemblies. Selected loci encoding specific protein sections are indicated by black bars below each diagram, and selected regions of similarity with known biofilm associated proteins are shown with blue bars. The relative length of each diagram is meant to illustrate the size of the proteins estimated from the length and read coverage of the contigs encoding each protein. However, in (B), for clarity, the repeat domain of ScsE is shortened relative to the estimated length.
