Figure 6.

Diversity of capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis genes. Comparison of genome organization surrounding the large cluster of cps biosynthesis genes. Genes are represented by blue and white arrows, in forward and reverse strands. Shades of connecting bars indicate high sequence identity (bright red) to low sequence identity (pink). The blue connecting bar indicates a reverse orientation. The 3 consecutive cps gene clusters in WCFS1 are indicated, and the rfbACBD genes. T indicates transposases of IS elements.
