a
The plasmids from strain N40 have been partially sequenced but are not yet fully completed. Some plasmid telomere regions are still unsequenced in the N40 strain. Therefore, a strain B31 ortholog of the I42 gene, which is located on the telomere of 1p28-4 in strain B31, may be encoded by strain N40 but was not identified in the strain N40 sequence that is currently available (Dr. Sherwood Casjens, personal communication).
