Resistance of Permafrost and Modern Acinetobacter lwoffii Strains to Heavy Metals and Arsenic Revealed by Genome Analysis

Figure 1

Genetic structure of resistance regions detected in the five large permafrost multiresistance plasmids (scheme). The location and polarity of genes are shown with arrows; genes belonging to mer operon are marked in red; ars operon in yellow; chromium resistance genes in green; cop genes in blue; czc in orange; nickel resistance genes in magenta; and genes with unknown functions and foreign genes in white. Numbers show the size of the sequences located between different resistance determinants and genes.
