FIG 5.

Schematic size-scaled diagram of the organization of the genomic region surrounding FTS_1680 in FSC200. The genomic region surrounding FTS_1680 is highly conserved between the various Francisella strains, including 3 consecutive genes in the same orientation (FTS_1680, FTS_1681, and FTS_1682). FTS_1680 encodes a hypothetical protein (212 amino acids), FTS_1681 is annotated to encode outer membrane protein assembly factor BamB (456 amino acids), and FTS_1682 encodes the drug:H⁺ antiporter-1 (DHA1) family protein (393 amino acids) belonging to the subclass of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS).
