Figure 5

Mosaic operons and genes. Three of six rha genes (rhaB, rhaA, and rhaD) belong to an operon on the reverse strand. This operon is unusual because well-defined recombination events clearly fall within gene boundaries; rhaD contains two dense KC clusters, whereas rhaA and rhaB contain predominantly KS and KO SNDs, respectively. In a nearby operon consisting of fdoG, fdoH, fdoI, and fdhE, there has been a KC intragenic recombination event with fdoG a mosaic, resulting from two recombination events, one of which is shared with fdoH.
