FIG. 5.
Alignment of DNA sequence upstream of the start codon of BF13 vanA with corresponding upstream regions of P. putida WCS358 and Pseudomonas sp. strain HR199 vanA. Identical bases are in reverse type, and the conserved BamHI cutting site is indicated in italics. The 16-base motif containing the BamHI site, which is repeated three times in the upstream sequence of BF13 vanA, is shown below.
