Identification of fim-like gene clusters on P. distasonis genomes compared to P. gingivalis cluster. (A) BLAST of fim-like consensus sequences against P. distasonis genomes. (B) Syntenic analysis of P. distasonis fimbriae gene clusters centered on fimA-like 1 gene. Vertical striped arrows refer to genes having a high homology and sharing synteny with reference gene. (*) indicate genes with low homology but sharing synteny over P. distasonis genomes. CDS: coding sequences are represented by gray and black arrows. Horizontal striped arrows are used for the Fim cluster of the reference genome: P. gingivalis ATCC 33277T.
