Figure 1

Fold changes across the genomes of AltDE and AltDE1. Genomic islands (GI) and flexible genomic islands (fGI) are plotted in grey bars in both genomes. The temperature plots on the left are comparisons at two different temperatures (25°C and 13°C). The growth medium plots on the right are the comparisons between rich medium (RM) vs minimal medium with glucose (MMG) at 25°C. In each plot the genes that have a fold change of >2 or < −2 are colored red and green respectively. In the temperature panels, red represents up regulation at 25°C, while green represents up regulation at 13°C. In the growth medium panels red represents up regulation in RM, while green represents up regulation in MMG. Genes in blue are those that do not have a fold change of >2/<−2, and are delineated by dashed horizontal lines. A lowness fit of the expression values is shown along the genome. The numbers of these genes and the percentage of total genes affected are shown in bold in the corner of each plot. Brief descriptions of the islands: fGI-1, Microaerobic respiration; fGI-2, Metal resistance/Hydrogenases; fGI-3, ND; fGI-4, Flagellum; fGI-5, Exopolysaccharide; fGI-6, O-chain of LPS; fGI-7, Urease/CRISPR cluster; fGI-8, ND; fGI-9, Glycosyltransferases; GI-1, Mercury resistance; GI-2, Mercury/Metal resistance; GI-3, Phage; GI-4, ND; GI-5, Nitrate respiration; GI-6, ND; GI-7, Lambda-like phage; GI-8, ND; GI-9, ND; GI-10, Mobilizable Genomic Island (MGI). ND, not defined.
