Fig. 5.—

A schematic representation of the fGIs detected in all the strains described here using the genome of A. mediterranea DE1 as a reference. Those already present within the A. mediterranea species are labelled with a triangle pointing to the insertion site. Red and blue lines indicate the position of the rearrangement and the main inversion present in all the “A. stellipolaris” isolates. Each location is characterized by a feature found at the site tRNA, Integron, ICR1 immigration control region 1; ICR2 immigration control region 2, MGI mobilizable genetic island, ICE Integrative Conjugative Element. Some of the functions detected in the additive fGIs are indicated to the right or under the colored box.
