Distribution of mutation sites in mutant phages

^aAll positions are relative to the genome of ΦSA012. For each phage variant, upper sequences are nucleotide sequences, and lower sequences are amino acid sequences. Bold underlined residues indicate nucleotide mutations, and gray boxes represent mutations in amino acids.

^b+, the region is present.

^cAn insertion of adenine (A) was discovered between bp 33020 (adenine) and bp 33021 (cytosine), resulting in a premature stop codon and partial deletion of the product (aa 85 to 108).
