Fig. 1.

Schematic representation of the genomes of S. americanum strains CCGM7 and CFNEI73. a CCGM7. b CFNEI73. The circles represent, from top to bottom, the chromosome, plasmid c (megaplasmid), plasmid b (symbiotic plasmid) and plasmid a of each. From the innermost circle: GC skew, %GC content, ORF prediction with direction of transcription (color code according to the function: dark blue metabolism, light blue cellular processes, green information, gray unkown, red transposases and other mobile elements), structural comparison by synteny. Color code for synteny: black, synteny between chromosomes; turquoise, synteny between plasmids c; orange, synteny between plasmids b; green, syntenic segments between plasmids a. Other syntenic segments between replicons, as follow: CCGM7 pa with CFNEI73 chromosome gray; CCGM7 pc with CFNEI73 pa pink; and CCGM7 pa with CFNEI73 pc red
