The red arrow indicates the T4SS-forming genes. The striped pattern indicates a different sequence compared to ICEHptfs4a. ICEHptfs3 and ICEHptfs4 had different overall genetic structures. ICEHptfs4 had three subtypes based of different alleles of the T4SS-forming genes and other accessories genesBack to article page
