Physical map of the mitochondrial genome of <i>M. mycetomatis.</i>

<p>All genes are located on the plus-strand and are shown in the outer ring of the circle, they are transcribed counterclockwise. On the plus-strand the following genes are encountered: rnl, rns, 11 genes encoding subunits of respiratory chain complexes (<i>cob, cox1, cox2, cox3, nad1, nad2, nad3, nad4, nad4L, nad5,</i> and <i>nad6</i>), 2 ATP synthase subunits (<i>atp6</i> and <i>atp8</i>), 5 hypothetical proteins (x1, x2, x3, x4 and x5) and 6 intronic proteins including the ribosomal protein <i>rps3</i> are shown. The introns are shown as blue boxes in the middle ring underneath the genes in which they are located. The intronic proteins are shown as pink boxes in the inner ring underneath the introns and the genes in which they are located. The exact starting en ending positions of each gene, intron and tRNA are shown in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0038654#pone-0038654-t001" target="_blank">table 1</a>.
