Comparison of the genome of Burkholderia stabilis strain CH16 from Switzerland (top bar) with that of B. stabilis reference strain BAA-67 (bottom bar). Alternating orange and brown bar sections represent chromosomes 1, 2, 3, and a plasmid. Scale bar indicates identity between the genomes (determined by blastn, http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Colors above the CH16 genome indicate the following: purple, regions of difference between the 2 strains; green, putative integrative and conjugative elemen
