Linear representation of the genomes of wide- and narrow-host-range phages. EasyFig software version mc 2.1 [48] was used to construct a comparison using the BLAST algorithm of WHR and NHR phages. (A) Wide-host-range phage and (B) narrow-host-range phage. The presence of similar genes is shown in the figure. The genes were labeled with different colors according to functionality: tail proteins, lysin, Ig3-like, tRNA, terminase large, head protein, DNA metabolism, homing endonuclease, rlla lysis inhibitor. BLAST identity is represented in gray-scale, with dark gray indicating a greater BLAST identity and light gray representing a lesser BLAST identity. Numbers indicate genes with differences described in C; (C) description of genes found with differences in the shared nucleotide identity between both phages.
