Rhizomal illustration presenting the mosaicism of each genome used. (a) “Candidatus Minimicrobia naudis.” (b) “Candidatus Nanosynbacter lyticus” (TM7x, reference genome). (c) “Candidatus Minimicrobia vallesae.” Each protein-encoding gene is represented by a curve, colored according to its origin as follows: bacterial origin in red, CPR non-Saccharibacteria phylum origin in dark green, Saccharibacteria phylum origin in light green, eukaryotic origin in yellow, archaeal origin in dark blue, and ORFans in gray. In the top row, each curve represents a protein-encoding gene, arranged in the figure by order. For the bottom row, protein-encoding genes belonging to the same origin are arranged together. Figures were constructed using the Circos tool.
