Figure 5. — Comparison of the SFB ger operon locus with C. novyi (CN) and C. botulinum (CB). SFB contains a single ger operon encoding a germinant receptor, whereas CN and CB possess two and three ger operons, respectively. Among these, only the loci analogous to that of SFBs are shown. The genes conserved in the three species are depicted by blue arrows, those conserved in the CN and CB but not in SFB by green and those unique to each species by white. Regions missing in each genome are indicated by a dotted line.
