Hankyphage lysogenizes 13 Bacteroides species. a The Hankyphage genome (top) is color-coded as before and was used to query the NCBI RefSeq database of bacterial genomes. The resulting alignments are color-coded according to the pairwise nucleotide identity. Regions flanking Hankyphage (2 kb) in each subject are depicted as black arrows and produced no significant alignments to each other. The subject sequences are Bc, B. cellulosilyticus; Bu, B. uniformis; Bfg, B. finegoldii; Bv, B. vulgatus; B3133, B. sp. 3_1_33FAA; BD2, B. sp. D2; Bs, B. salyersiae; Bt, B. thetaiotaomicron; Bo, B. ovatus; Bfr, B. fragilis; Bx, B. xylanisolvens; and B3140, B. sp. 3_1_40A. b Alignments of the TRs and VRs from Hankyphage in each Bacteroides species are shown. Each nucleotide base is color-coded for visualization of mismatches in the variable repeat
