Figure 3.
Relative distance of the Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensisgenome with those of other 47 completely sequenced genomes, measured by a collective similarity score of the 2588 predicted coding sequences (CDS). All the sequences were retrieved from NCBI databases. A tally was kept of which genome produces the significant similarity with theBLASTP program above an expected value of 1e-10. The number of T. tengcongensis CDS matched to those of each genome is tabulated. Bacillus halodurans has the highest value of 54.4%, indicating its highest similarity to T. tengcongensis.
