Genomic organization of upstream lin genes. Alignments detailing strong conservation and IS6100 involvement immediately surrounding the upstream lin genes in HCH-degrading strains. Alignments of the regions surrounding (A) linA and (B) linB and linC were performed with MEGABLAST and ordered to give maximal pairwise alignment lengths. Conserved regions are indicated by red shading where the matches are in the same orientation and by blue shading where the matches are in reverse orientation. Also found associated with these genes are an IS6100 truncated linF and linX/linX2 (linC-like sequences not necessary for HCH degradation). HCH, hexachlorocyclohexane.
