Figure 4.
Genetic locus encoding the major cell wall proteins and anionic polymers of C . difficile 630. Gene names and colours indicate putative functions: green, cell wall or S‐layer proteins; blue, glycosyltransferases; red, attachment of polymers to peptidoglycan; grey, mannose biosynthesis; orange, protein translocation; black, other or unknown functions. Genes 2768–2778 are homologous to glycosyltransferases including those involved in teichoic and teichuronic acid biosynthesis in other Firmicutes.
