Circular genomic map of the Bacteroides cellulosolvens chromosome. The recently sequenced genome was assembled into a single large contig of 6,878,816 bp, translated into 5897 predicted proteins, and appears to be the largest among the known cellulolytic bacteria. The innermost circles represent the GC skew (purple/green) and GC content (black) of the sequence assembly. Outer circles show the location of cellulosomal elements based on Blastn homology. Blue arrows represent cohesin ORFs, grouped into color-coded clusters, marked by letters A to F. Dockerins, marked by red arrows, are scattered relatively evenly throughout the genome
