Deletion mutations in the sialic acid degradation locus. The M. synoviae strains examined are listed (left). Nucleotide numbering is from the M. synoviae strain 53 genome (GenBank accession no. NC_007294) [11]. (A) Nucleotides 224131–224155. A 12 bp deletion occurred in the intergenic sequence immediately upstream of the sialidase gene nanI in strain WVU1853T. (B) Nucleotides 220678–221153. Slashes represent 446 intervening bases. A 462 base deletion occurred in the 891 bp N-acetylneuraminate lyase gene nanA of strain FMT. A direct repeat bracketing the deletion is boxed. (C) Nucleotides 220953–220976. A 14 bp deletion, that was overlapped by the larger deletion in strain FMT, occurred in the nanA gene of strain K3344.
