FIG 5 .

DNA sequence of the 5′ flanking region of CA_P0037 (A), adc (B), and sol operon (C). Cap0037 binding sites (Cap37 BS) determined in this study are shown in red boxes. Spo0A binding sites (Spo0A BS) are shown in orange boxes (7, 32). Promoter −35 and −10 elements are shown in blue (7, 33). Putative −35 and −10 sequences of the CA_P0037-CA_P0036 operon were analyzed by the BPROM tool. Three imperfect repeats in the sol promoter are shown in green letters (7). Coding sequences (CDS) are shown in brown.
