Figure 1.

Phylogeny of the 176 representative phase-variable mod genes Sequences were aligned using Muscle (28), and phylogeny analyzed by RAxML (29). Groups highlighted with colored circles are new mod gene groups discussed in the main text, with the bacterial genera or strain, and the SSR unit, also stated. Groups with colored text represent currently described phase-variable mod genes/mod gene groups, e.g.modA, modB, etc., with the SSR unit also stated. The phase-variable mod gene from STEC strain DG131/3 is highlighted with a *; the phase-variable mod gene from S. suis strain T15 is highlighted with a # in the pentanucleotide Gram +ve (2) group.
