Fig. 3From: Large plasmidome of dairy Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis FM03P encodes technological functions and appears highly unstableOverview of the putative functions of plasmid-encoded genes in L. lactis FM03P. The sum of the sizes of the genes within a category relative to the total size of all plasmid genes was used. The orange to yellow categories represent dairy functions. Other dairy functions include genes for uptake of magnesium and manganese (corA and mntH), D-lactate dehydrogenases (dld), and a C4-dicarboxylate transporter. Non L. lactis genes include the genes that are rarely found in L. lactis. Conserved L. lactis genes with other functions consist of all the putative genes which are regularly found in L. lactis and encode hypothetical proteins or proteins with functions that did not fit into the other categoriesBack to article page
