Comparative Genomic Analysis of Rhodococcus equi: An Insight into Genomic Diversity and Genome Evolution

Figure 7

Comparative analysis of prophages in R. equi genomes. The spots for recombination were identified using R. equi 103S genome as the reference sequence. Regions of the phage genomes which shared high identity (>80%) and the same attB are connected by blue bars. All of the prophages displayed similar structures, and the integrase is present in the extremity of prophage and adjacent to the attL/attR. The different functional elements in phages are also shown (see figure legend). (a) Proteins of two phages, including lysis protein, fiber protein, and tail protein, shared high identities. (b) Sequence of the prophage of WY showed a high identity with that of N1301 but was different from that of ATCC 33707.
