FIG. 1.

Map of C. burnetii Nine Mile strain deletion regions. Annotated ORFs believed to function in O-antigen synthesis are indicated by grey arrows. ORFs believed to be related to carbohydrate metabolism or to other LPS biosynthetic steps are indicated by boldface arrows. The locations of endpoints of cosmid clones pJB167 and pJB153 are indicated by cross-hatched bars, and the location of the pCBE700 EcoRI clone is indicated by the stippled bar. Beginning on the left, the designations of the ORFs correspond to JB167-1 through JB167-6, followed by JB153-1 through JB153-25. The approximate locations of useful restriction sites are indicated.
