FIG. 5.

Genetic map of the T6SS gene cluster. The location of the transposon in the 34C6, 1A5, and 34C4 mutants, which are attenuated for survival in the rat agar bead model (23), is indicated by white circles. This cluster has been designated the bcs cluster for B. cenocepacia survival. The location and direction of transcription of genes are represented by arrows. Locus tags assigned by the Sanger Center are shown above and the bcs annotation of the genes is shown below. The genes icmF (BCAL0351; bcsB), clpV (BCAL0347; bcsF), and hcp (BCAL0343; bcsJ), which are characteristic of T6SSs in other bacteria, are shown.
