Fig. 1
Circular representation of the Lactiplantibacillus plantarum phage P2 genome. The innermost circle indicates the GC skew on the positive and negative strand (green and purple). The second circle indicates the GC content (black). The outer circle indicates predicted CDS located on the positive and negative DNA strand (lavender). Red indicates tRNA coding genes.
