Chromosome of Pss B728a with the outermost circle depicting ORFs on the positive strand and the second circle depicting ORFs on the negative strand. The ORFs are color-coded based on the major grouping of role categories as follows: hypothetical proteins (black); conserved hypothetical proteins (light gray); nucleotide metabolism and transport (light red); translation, ribosomal structure, and biogenesis (yellow); signal transduction (lavender); transcription (magenta); lipid metabolism (cyan); carbohydrate metabolism and transport (blue); coenzyme metabolism (pink); energy metabolism (green); DNA replication, recombination, and repair (red); general function prediction (brown); cellular processes (sky blue); amino acid metabolism and transport (orange); and structural RNA (pale green). The third circle represents the ORFs with no orthologs in Pst DC3000 (E <10-5. The fourth circle represents the palindromic REPs color-coded as follows: family 1 (dark gray), family 2 (red), family 3 (green), family 4 (blue), family 5 (cyan), family 6 (magenta), family 7 (yellow), family 8 (pale green), family 9 (sky blue), family 10 (orange), family 11 (brown), and family 12 (light gray). The fifth and sixth circles represent GC content and skew respectively. The seventh and eighth circles represent the tRNA (green), rRNA (red), and misc_RNA (blue).
