Fig. 3

a Graphical representation of the 5.03 Mb chromosome of Halomonas sp. R5-57 indicating from innermost ring: distribution of the GC content (black), GC skew (purple/green), homology with self (solid purple), H. elongata DSM 2581 ASM19687v1 (green) H. campaniensis ASM69648v1 (pink), and H. boliviensis LC1 (blue). The outermost red blocks indicate areas where Halomonas sp. R5-57 has low homology with other species, and are annotated with possible genes of interest. The approximate position and locus tag of genes involved in ectoine biosynthesis are marked in blue, those producing PHA are in magenta. b Comparison between Halomonas sp. R5-57 and Halomonas sp. TG39a. Low homology regions which have equivalent in part A are shown in red blocks with the position numbers of the Halomonas sp. R5-57 - those not identified in A are shown in green and also include possible genes of interest
