FIG. 2.

Arrangements of ORFs involved in fucose utilization in the four major contigs assembled following microarray screening. The direction of translation is indicated. The positions of the hybridizing clones are given above the main diagram and the regions extended by genome walking (gw) or PCR amplification are indicated by dashed lines. The arrangement of related, published operons of genes is indicated within boxes. The R. inulinivorans A2-194 contigs are drawn to scale (scale bars shown). Note that the size of the scale for contig 1-5-2 is half that of the other contigs. (A) Contig 1-5-2, propanediol utilization genes, and the corresponding Salmonella serovar Typhimurium LT2 pdu operon (4); (B) contig 3, fuculose kinase, and adjacent genes; (C) contig 6, fucose isomerase and surrounding genes, and the fucose utilization operon from B. thetaiotaomicron (23); (D) p4p5, quorum-sensing operon and the corresponding S. aureus quorum-sensing operon (30).
