| Method |
"Here [researchers]
summarize the results from sequencing, assembly and analysis of
the linear chromosome and 11 plasmids." |
| Comments |
"Of 430 genes on 11 plasmids, most have no known biological function: 39% of plasmid genes
are paralogues that form 47 gene families...The
11
plasmids
[researchers]
have
described
contain
a
total
of
430
putative
ORFs
with
an
average
size
of
507
bp:
plasmid
G+C
content
ranges
from
23.1%
to
32.3%.
Only
71%
of
plasmid
DNA
represents
predicted
coding
sequences,
a
value
significantly
lower
than
that
on
the
chromosome......Of
the
430
plasmid
ORFs,
only
70
(16%)
could
be
identified
and
these
include
membrane
proteins
such
as
OspA-D,
decorin-binding
proteins,
the
VlsE
lipoprotein
recombination
cassette,
and
the
purine
ribonucleotide
biosynthetic
enzymes
GuaA
and
GuaB." |
