Figure 3. Genome organization of tthe phrB locus, mutant and complement.
A. Chromosomal map of the phrB locus. In Gc strain FA1090 chromosome, phrB (black arrow) is located between NGO1706 and NGO1708 (large grey arrows). The phrB mutant strain contains a kanamycin transposon insertion (KmR, triangle) 227 bps from the 5′ end of the 1296 bp orf. B. The phrB complement strain. The phrB gene was cloned downstream of a dual taclac promoter (hatched box) (Mehr & Seifert, 1998). This construct was transformed into the phrB mutant and inserted into the neisserial intergenic complementation site (NICS) (Mehr & Seifert, 1998).
