n1_4mer:GRV/n1_4mer:RV = (Global Relative Variance of OU patterns) / (Local Relative Variance of OU patterns)
n0_4mer:D = Distance between local and global OU patterns
n0_4mer:PS = Distance between 2 strands of same DNA molecule
Selected loci indicated by large D, increased GRV associated with decreased RV and moderate increase in PS

NCBI: NC_014554
Host Lineage: Lactobacillus plantarum; Lactobacillus; Lactobacillaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Lactobacillus plantarum (strain ST-III) is an aerobic, non spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from plant material, and the gastrointestinal tract of animals. It is used in the production of fermented foods such as saurkraut, kimchi and sourdough bread. L. plantarum is also of interest as a probiotic to maintain and regulate the human intestinal microflora.
