FIG. 5.
L. monocytogenes consensus sequence logo generated with the GENIO/logo RNA/DNA and Amino Acid Sequence Logos web server (http://genio.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/GENIO/logo). Predicted promoter sequences of the 54 σB-dependent genes were aligned manually and entered into the program. The vertical axis is information content in bits. The height of a nucleotide represents its frequency at that location. Letters displayed upside down indicate a nucleotide frequency of less than 25%. Numbers below selected residues indicate nucleotide frequencies at that position. Conserved −35 and −10 regions are indicated by bold numbers.
