Exclusive gene complement of A. thiooxidans strain CLST relative to other strains of the species. All possible pairwise comparisons were performed. The number of exclusive genes resulting from the pairwise comparisons between the genomes of CLST and the other A. thiooxidans strains is plotted against the number of genomes compared. Genes were color coded according to their COG predicted function, as indicated in the lateral bar
