¹The ESAS sequences are shown, with inverted repeats shown in bold type, and ‘-‘ characters inserted to align them. Putative promoter −35 hexamers in the center repeat are underlined, and putative −10 hexamers in or near the center repeat are also underlined. For the consensus, nucleotides present in 5–6 motifs or in seven or more, are shown in lower and upper case letters respectively. Redundant codes show preferences in those positions: r = A or G, s= G or C, w = A or T, , n = A, C, G or T.
