Figure 3. Genome comparisons of Stx phages from the study of Stx-producing E. coli O157:H7. The results of the comparison of the genome structure (left) and dot-plot sequence comparisons (right) of the Stx phages are shown. Sequence identities are indicated by different colors. In the dot-plot matrices, phages integrated in the same integration sites are highlighted by gray shading and colored frames. GP, β-glucuronidase–positive; IS, insertion sequence.
