Fig 5. Genetic divergence in CspA variants across B. burgdorferi B31, B. afzelii PKo, and B. garinii ZQ1.

Fig 5

(A) Synteny of Pfam54-IV loci in B. burgdorferi B31, B. afzelii PKo, and B. garinii ZQ1 (B) Pairwise nucleotide identity across the three spirochete species. (inset) Frequency distribution of pairwise genetic distances. The pairwise identity numbers are coded by color gradually from identical (100% pairwise identity; green) to divergent sequences (65% pairwise identity; red). The clear break in the frequency distribution separates the highly similar (> 95% pairwise identity) from moderately divergent comparisons (< 80%).
