FIG. 6.

(A) Alignment (BESTFIT; GCG software) of nucleotide sequences of the corresponding regions of P. versutus pTAV320 and the repABC replicator region of plasmid pPAN1 from P. pantotrophus DSM 82.5. The R1 and R2 repeated sequences are shown with a black background. The palindromic sequences are indicated by arrows. Terminal parts of the repC genes are enclosed in a box. Coordinates of the pTAV320 and pPAN1 sequences are indicated on the right. (B) Manual alignment of nucleotide sequences of R1 of pTAV320 and R1 of pPAN1 repeats and consensus centromeric sequence of the B. subtilis chromosome (chrom.) (22). Nucleotides common to two sequences at any position are indicated by boldface type. Dashes indicate gaps introduced to maximize the alignment.
