Figure 2. Alignment of typical and EpsM variant eps gene clusters as they reside on pEPS6073 and pEPS7158, respectively (Excerpted from Millen et al., 2022^[18]). Numbers appearing over gene depictions correspond to locus tags as annotated in GenBank (accession numbers OP323065-OP323068). Genes are colored based on their putative function, including EPS assembly, EPS modulation, glycosyltransferase, transposase, or others. The putative polymerase (wzy), flippase (wzx), and attachment (lytR) genes are annotated as such. Gray bars are used to indicate sequence identity. EPS: Distal tail protein; EpsM: 6073-like variant.
