Genomic overview of the similarity between completely sequenced <i>B. amyloliquefaciens</i> strains.

<p>(A) Genomic comparison map of plant-associated <i>B. amyloliquefaciens</i> subsp. <i>plantarum</i> strains. The grey blocks indicate similarity and sequence conservation whereas gaps between the blocks show differences in genomic content between genomes. The rainbow color bar shows synteny between genomes. (B) Comparison of the plant growth promoting strain UCMB5113 (as representative of <i>plantarum</i> species) with non plant-associated subsp. <i>amyloliquefaciens</i> strains. Vertical bars (black and red) on the top show the location of <i>plantarum</i> group specific genes in UCMB5113, whereas red dots indicate nine of the selected <i>plantarum</i>-specific genes that were shown to be expressed (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0104651#pone.0104651.s002" target="_blank">Figure S2</a>).
