Truncation of nif U in spheroid bodies. A. GATA plot for Cyanothece and spheroid body nif U indicating conserved regions. GATaligner settings: Window size: 100; Match: 5; MisMatch:-4; Gap Creation:-10; Gap Extension:-4; Raw Score Cut Off: 92.0. GATAPlotter score settings: Max: 141 bits, expect 9E-38; Min: 28 bits, expect 9E-4. GATAPlotter scores are indicated. B. Multiple alignment of predicted amino acid sequences for NifU indicating an N-terminal truncation in the homologue from the endosymbiont. NifU accession numbers: Cya51142: AAW56987.1 (Cyanothece sp. ATCC 51142); Cya0110: ZP_01727764.1 (Cyanothece sp. CCY0110); GloKO68DGA: BAF47150.1 (Gloeothece sp. KO68DGA); Cya8801: AAC33371.1 (Cyanothece sp. PCC 8801); Lyn8106: ZP_01620769.1 (Lyngbya sp.
