Phylogenetic and Guanine-Cytosine Content Analysis of Symbiobacterium thermophilum Genes

Figure 2

Plots of the location and category of the Symbiobacterium protein-coding genes. X-axis: STH gene number. Y-axis: 0: category “No hit” (Symbiobacterium-specific genes); 1: category “Symbiobacterium” (multiple copied genes); 2: category “Clostridia;” 3: category “Bacilli”; 4: categories “Actinobacteria,” “Aquificae,” “Bacteroidetes/Chlorobi,” “Chloroflexi,” “Cyanobacteria,” “Deinococcus-Thermus,” “Dictyoglomi,” “Fibrobacteres/Acidobacteria,” “Proteobacteria,” “Thermobaculum,” “Thermotogae,” and “Other bacteria”; 5: category “Archaea/Eukaryota.” The italicized numbers indicate 52 clusters (pink) containing 5 or more consecutive genes belonging to the category “Clostridia.”
