Whole-Genome Sequencing and Comparative Genome Analysis Provided Insight into the Predatory Features and Genetic Diversity of Two Bdellovibrio Species Isolated from Soil

Figure 4

Diagrammatic comparison of the hit locus and the adjoining regions between Bdellovibrio spp. HD100 (a), SSB218315 (b), and SKB1291214 (c). The major differences can be observed at the region after the wapA gene. There was no BLAST hits for gene equivalent of hit locus orf4 (Bd0108), BD_RS00505 (new locus tag assigned to the fragment in B. bacteriovorus HD100) and another uncharacterized gene in Bdellovibrio sp. SKB1291214. The maps were generated using KBase software (http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/12/22/096354), and BLAST analysis was done in ExPASy Bioinformatics Resource Portal (http://www.expasy.org/). CpaB, CpaF/TadA, TadB, pilQ/Cpac, pilV, flp1, flp2 (genes associated with type IV pilus secretion), chemotaxis protein (MCP: methyl accepting chemotaxis protein, chemotaxis protein CheY), heat-shock protein (GroES and GroEL), cell wall-associated protein (wapA), host interaction (hit) locus orf.
