FIG 2 — Putative genes involved in acetic acid transportation and genes encoding holin-antiholin-like proteins are highly conserved. (A) Arrangement of genes homologous to ywcBA in other bacteria. ywcC and slrA are two genes known to be involved in biofilm formation (23, 24). acsA is part of the operon with yjcH and yjcG in E. coli (54). Percentage numbers in the parentheses represent sequence identity and similarity between ywcA and the homologous genes in other bacteria. Note that, based on our BLAST research, only a few S. aureus isolates seem to contain genes homologous to ywcBA. (B) Organization of the genes encoding holin-antiholin-like proteins in Bacillus sp., S. aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Regulatory genes are also shown next to the holin-antiholin-like genes.
