708a contains a deletion fusing the bold sequences of BPSL1717 and BPSL1807, respectively. Some notable genes and gene clusters present in K96243 but missing from 708a are: 1 amrR-amrAB-oprA; 2 a three gene operon (BPSL1801-BPSL1800-BPSL1799) encoding a putative type-1 fimbrial protein along with its outer membrane usher protein and chaperone; 3 the 13 gene malleobactin biosynthetic gene cluster and its extracytoplasmic sigma factor MbaS defined by mbaF-fmtA-mbaA-mbaI-mbaJ-mbaE-BPSL1781-BPSL1782-BPSL1783-BPSL1784-BPSL1785-BPSL1786-mbaS; 4 a cluster of 18 genes (BPSL1755-BPSL1773) encoding a putative aerobic (or late cobalt insertion) vitamin B₁₂ biosynthetic pathway with an embedded gene (BPSL1763) encoding a putative exported chitinase; 5 arcD (BPSL1742) and arcABC (BPSL1743-BPSL1744-BPSL1745) coding for the arginine deiminase pathway; and 6 a two gene cluster (BPSL1732-BPSL1731) coding for a putative methyl-accepting chemotaxis citrate transducer and chemotaxis protein CheW2, respectively. Strain 1710b contains an additional 10 kb of DNA in this region.
