^acp32-2-7 refers to cp32-2 and cp32-7 as both plasmids have the same compatibility (Casjens et al., 2017). ^bcp32-1 + 5 refers to a fusion plasmid discovered from B. burgdorferi JD1 that is made up of two different full-length cp32-1 and cp32-5 fused together to form a circular plasmid (Casjens et al., 2012). ^ccp32-1-5 is another version of cp32-1-5 referring to the fusion of cp32-1 and cp32-5 into a single circular replicon (Brisson et al., 2013). ^dcp32-3 + 10 refers to a fusion plasmid discovered from B. burgdorferi B31 that is made up of two different full-length cp32-3 and cp32-10 fused together to form a circular plasmid (Schutzer et al., 2011; Casjens et al., 2012).
