Circular representation of the similarity between genomes clustering closely in the phylogenetic tree (Fig. 5). Orthologous genes of the analyzed MAGs are plotted relative to their position in the respective reference genomes (outermost rings). Core genes of the analyzed genomes are plotted in red. The individual concentric rings represent the pairwise core genome with the reference. (a) Genus Nitrososphaera. Reference sequence is the genome of the NCBI reference genome N. viennensis EN76 (NCBI:txid926571, Accession No. NZ_CP007536). (b) Genus TA-21 according to GTDB (https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org/) (reference sequence is the MAG Switzerland_1_MAG_2 of this study). (c) Unknown Genus (reference sequence is the MAG Italy_MAG_67). The innermost circles rpresent GC skew plots (purple above mean, light green below mean) and GC content plots showing deviations from the average (black and gray). The circular plots were generated with BioCircos within EDGAR3 [33]
