Circular representation of the B. fragilis NCTC9343 chromosome

From the outer to the inner circle: Circle 1: DNA coordinates; Circles 2+3: all CDSs (forward and reverse strands); Circles 4+5: Unique CDSs in B. fragilis as compared with B. thetaiotaomicron; Circle 6: Pathogenicity related CDSs; Circle 7: polysaccharide biosynthesis clusters (green) and invertible regions (black); Circle 8: SusC homologues (pink); Circle 9: rRNAs (orange) and tRNAs (blue); Circle 10: G+C content (plotted using a 10Kb window); Circle 11: GC skew ((G-C)/(G+C)) (plotted using a 10Kb window). Colour coding for circles 2 and 3: dark blue; pathogenicity/adaptation, black; energy metabolism, red; information transfer, dark green; surface associated, cyan; degradation of large molecules, magenta; degradation of small molecules, yellow; central/intermediary metabolism, pale green; unknown, pale blue; regulators, orange; conserved hypothetical, brown; pseudogenes, pink; phage+IS elements, grey; miscellaneous.
