Fig. 1

Schematic of the open reading frames of the B. burgdorferi lp28-1 plasmid. Genes are flanked by telomeres (striped regions). Double-headed solid arrows show regions that have been previously deleted: a [11], b and c [8]. Genetic loci bbf19-22 or bbf27-30 were chosen for mutational analysis, as there is no knowledge for their respective roles in B. burgdorferi persistence. Conserved regions (black); pseudogenes (white); short genes less than 300 bp (vertical lines); autonomous replication genes (grey)
