Figure 2.

Gene maps of the newly sequenced plastid genomes of Vischeria sp. CAUP Q 202 and Monodopsis sp. MarTras21. Genes are shown as blocks facing inside if transcribed in the clockwise direction or facing outside if transcribed in the counter-clockwise direction. The assignment of the genes into different functional categories is indicated by their different colours. The plot in the inner circle shows the GC content, with the thin grey line marking 50%. Red arrows point to the novel six-gene cluster acquired by HGT. Note the ebo operon (eboA to eboF genes) delimited in both genomes with the red bar.
