Unveiling the genetic landscape and motility-associated functions of Type IV pili in the <i>Bifidobacterium</i> genus

Figure 2. Genetic maps of the T4cP loci in bifidobacteria. (A) shows the genetic map of the three different configurations of the T4cP locus distributed across the genus Bifidobacterium; (B and C) display the degree of conservation of two T4cP configurations within the B. boum phylogenetic group and a B. longum sub-group, respectively. Each arrow indicates an ORF, whereas the length of the arrow is proportional to the length of the predicted ORF. Individual genes within the locus, i.e., tadZ, tadA, tadB, tadC, flp, tadE, tadF, and tadV, are distinguished by different colors, and identity values to the reference gene are shown between the genes. T4cP: Type IVc pili. B. boum: Bifidobacterium boum; ORF: open reading frame; tad: tight adherence; B. longum: Bifidobacterium longum.
