FIG 1
Comparison of the homologous regions containing mcr-1 shared by pMR0516mcr and pHNSHP45-2. Open arrows represent coding sequences (green arrows, mcr-1; white arrows, ISapl1; purple arrows, metabolic function; blue arrows, plasmid replication and maintenance; gray arrows, hypothetical and unclassified) and indicate direction of transcription. The arrow size is proportional to the gene length. The gray and blue areas between pMR0516mcr and pHNSHP45-2 indicate nucleotide identity of >99.9% by BLASTN.
