From: A large scale prediction of bacteriocin gene blocks suggests a wide functional spectrum for bacteriocins

Fig. 3

Using a clique filter to identify putative bacteriocin gene blocks. Drawing is not to scale, and other genes may exist in between those shown. a, b and c are all cliques formed from these genes. Clique a has an identifiable homolog to a known toxin, and is considered a viable candidate for a toxin gene block. Clique b does not have all necessary functions, and therefore is not considered to be a candidate. Clique c contains all necessary functions and therefore is considered a candidate for a bacteriocin gene block or operon even though there is no homology-detected toxin gene
