Synteny and gene organization of the flagellar biosynthetic genes in actinobacteria. The A. cellulolyticus locus Acel_0827-Acel_0864 is displayed; the syntenic region ranges from Acel_0829 to Acel_0861. Ace, Kra, Lxy, and Noc denote A. cellulolyticus, K. radiotolerans, L. xyli, and Nocardioides sp. JS614, respectively. Chromosomal gene organization from each of the completely assembled genomes is shown, except in the case of K. radiotolerans, for which genes from two different contigs are shown. Therefore, the true order of the whole region in K. radiotolerans remains unclear. Synteny between the different chromosomal regions is indicated by green lines (for genes on the same strand) and red lines (for genes on opposite strands). The gene sizes in the different organisms are not drawn to scale. Also, the K. radiotolerans genes are colored differently than the genes in the other three organisms.
