Figure 1. Nucleotide sequence of the hsp70+500 bp fragment cloned into pGem-T Easy.

Capital letters indicate the hsp70 promoter sequence (453 bp). The 100 bp regulatory sequence included in the 500 bp regulatory region is shown in italics. Sequencing was performed using the reverse primer phsR (5^′-taacgaattcccaattccctattcag-3′).
