Genomic islands (GIs, large-genomic regions that contain multiple genes of probable horizontal origin) analysis of the PAH-degrading mycobacteria. (A) Comparison of the GIs from the PAH-degrading mycobacteria, depending upon core and dispensable genes. (B) HGT contribution of the 2,878 GI-located genes to the pan-genome of PAH-degrading mycobacteria. (C) Functional distribution of the 754 horizontally transferred genes to the core-genome based on COG. (D) Functional annotation of the horizontally transferred PAH-catabolic genes with respect to the general scheme of PAH metabolism proposed for M. vanbaalenii PYR-1. Only the 22 genes involved in RCP and SCP are shown. Please see reference [9] for a more detailed explanation of the general scheme of mycobacterial PAH metabolism.
