Deinococcus radiodurans
Genome structure:The genome is composed of four circular molecules: chromosome I [2,648,638 base pairs (bp)], chromosome II (412,348 bp), a megaplasmid (177,466 bp), and a plasmid (45,704 bp. The genome contains 3187 open reading frames (ORFs), with an average size of 937 bp, representing 91% of the genome.Analysis of the D. radiodurans genome reveals that nearly 30% of the total number of genes encoding proteins with regulatory functions (39 of 140) including transcription factors, response regulators, and kinases are found on chromosome II and the megaplasmid.
