Distribution of ICEs among bacterial strains. Solar explosion chart indicating the elements found in all strains. Bacterial species were arranged from the species with the largest number of elements to the species with the least number of elements and separated by color: Lilac: P. syringae; Dark blue: D. solani; Light blue: R. pseudosolanacearum; Green (from the darkest to the lightest, respectively): P. atrosepticum, X. fastidiosa, A. tumefaciens, X. campestris; Yellow: R. syzigii; Light orange: P. carotovorum; Dark orange: D. dadantii. From the inside out of the chart: The bacterial species, name of the strains, and the identified elements present in each strain. b Hierarchical organization of ICEs distribution around bacterial species, with color-coding in species as shown in the legend. The scale beside the plot shows the number of ICEs found for each species
