Distribution of methylation sites across CDSs of the top 10 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Orthology (KOs) of 20 Lacticaseibacillus paracasei isolates. The x - and y -axes represent the KO groups and methylation density, respectively. X -axis is sorted according to the median methylation density of the KO group. KO groups: K02795, mannose PTS system EIIC component; K01223, 6-phospho-beta-glucosidase; K01182, oligo-1,6-glucosidase; K03332, fructan beta-fructosidase; K01624, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, class II; K02800, mannitol PTS system EIICBA or EIICB component; K00158, pyruvate oxidase; K02770, fructose PTS system EIIBC or EIIC component; K02761, cellobiose PTS system EIIC component; K02775, galactitol-PTS system EIIC component. The length of the box represents the range between the 25th and 75th percentile; the lines inside the boxes represent the median values; the whiskers denote the lowest and highest values within 1.5 times the interquartile range of each group; the dots above/below the upper/lower line are the outliers.
