Deletions were moved into each strain in the order they appear in the description column.
v and c indicate the primer sequences (5′ to 3′) that were used for verification purposes during the creation of disruption mutants and cloning purposes, respectively. The forward sequence follows the reverse sequence in each case. Genes or operons deleted or cloned are apparent from primer names.
