Figure 6

A conserved bacterial region associated with phage WO, Wolbachia strains, and Rickettsia plasmid. (A) Structural comparisons of the gene compositions among prophage WO, Wolbachia, and plasmid of Rickettsia endosymbiont in Ixodes scapularis and I. ricinus, all of which have the same conserved bacterial region genes (WRi_005730–WRi_005830) with WORiB1 flanking region. Genes are presented by arrows while psudogenes and non-coding regions are boxes. Colors of ORFs are as described in the legend of Figure 2. (B) Percent nucleotide identity between genes from the conserved bacterial region, phage WO genes (WORiB1, WORiB2, WOSol, WOMelB, WOSuz1, and WOAuB), and Wolbachia genes. (C) Synonymous rate between genes from the conserved bacterial region, phage WO genes (WORiB1, WORiB2, WOSol, WOMelB, WOSuz1, and WOAuB), and Wolbachia genes. Error bars represent one standard deviation. The double asterisk indicates a significant difference (P < 0.01; Mann–Whitney U, two-tailed test).
