Zusammenfassung:	Copyright information:Taken from "Sequence and functional analyses of spp. genomic islands"http://genomebiology.com/2007/8/11/R237Genome Biology 2007;8(11):R237-R237.Published online 8 Nov 2007PMCID:PMC2258188. genomic islands. Presented are transmission electron micrographs of negatively stained samples, showing presence of type IV secretion system (T4SS) dependent pili (arrows) in the spp. strains harboring genomic islands. Three parent spp. strains with the highest conjugation transfer frequencies harboring genomic islands ICE, ICE, and ICEwere shown to produce the T4SS pilus. Moreover, strain Rd harboring genomic islands ICE, ICE, ICE, ICE, and ICEproduced T4SS pili, thus providing experimental evidence of the activity of T4SS encoded by these genomic islands. Bars represent 100 nm. B, bacterium; ICE, integrative and conjugative element.
