Linear chromosomes of Lyme disease agent spirochetes: genetic diversity and conservation of gene order.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 1995

Casjens S, Delange M, Ley H L, Rosa P, Huang W M

Abstract excerpt

We have constructed physical and genetic maps of the chromosomes of 21 Lyme disease agent spirochetes from geographically diverse locations. All have linear chromosomes whose lengths range from 935 to 955 kbp, and all contain multiple linear plasmids in the 16- to 175-kbp size range. The locations of 11 gene clusters on the chromosomes of these different isolates are indistinguishable at the resolution achieved...
