Figure 5

Comparison of fimbriae and capsule biosynthesis regions. (a) Horizontal acquisition of a Yersinia-like fimbriae cluster (red) by Bp results in reaplcement of a flagellar biosynthesis cluster in Bt. (b) A capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis cluster (pink) in Bp replaces an ancestral polysaccharide cluster in Bt (orange). See Main Text for details.
