Gene order structures of the segment encoding the flagellum.

<p>Comparative analysis of the DNA segments covering the gene cluster for the flagellum (A). Tblastx hits between genomes are shown between the gene clusters, with grey intensity reflecting the e-value of the hit. The tree is a schematic representation of the phylogeny of the <i>Bartonella</i> species that contain a gene cluster for the flagellum, taken from <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003393#pgen-1003393-g001" target="_blank">Figure 1A</a>. The outgroup OA2 is <i>Ochrobactrum anthropi</i> chromosome 2. Schematic representations of the flagellar protein complexes in species where the gene cluster is complete (B) and in <i>B. bovis</i> strain m02 where several genes are missing and other genes contain frameshift mutations (C). Genes and proteins are colored according to their presumed function and location: Extracellular proteins (green), membrane and intracellular proteins (yellow), hypothetical proteins (purple).
