Structure of the genome fragments of wBruAus obtained by inverse PCR, aligned with genome sequences of wMel, a strain of Wolbachia from D. melanogaster. (A) A 4.1-kb fragment containing wsp gene. (B) An 11.4-kb fragment containing ftsZ gene. Arrows indicate the position of intermittent stop codons. Arrowheads show the position of frame-shift substitutions. Filled ORFs contain either stop codons or frame-shift substitutions, whereas shaded ORFs are structurally intact. A non-LTR retrotransposon-like sequence was located upstream of the ftsZ gene. All ORFs on wMel genome fragments are structurally intact. Question marks indicate unidentified ORFs.
