FIG 1.

Comparison of the lengths of genes in the Burkholderia sp. Lv-StB genome (A) and B. gladioli Lv-StA (B) with the closest homologs identified through BLAST searches against the NR database (see Materials and Methods). Genes which are less than 80% of the length of the closest relative (i.e., below the lower black line) are putatively assigned as pseudogenes, as described previously (4, 121). Note that two vertical groupings of pseudogenes in Lv-StB correspond to multiple copies of a 155-bp hypothetical gene and an IS5 family transposase.
