TABLE 2.

Lateral flagellar gene system of V. parahaemolyticus

^aGene names are designated with counterparts in other flagellar systems; the subscripts L and P will be used to distinguish lateral and polar genes, respectively. Arrows indicate relative direction of transcription. Genes are arranged in predicted operons as determined by sequence and RT-PCR analysis. Promoters are marked with either σ⁵⁴ (diamonds) or σ²⁸ (circles) specificity if determined by fusion analysis. Boldface print signifies genes with transposon or cassette insertions.

^bHAP, hook-associated protein.

^cThere is no apparent Vibrio fliO_L gene in this locus.
