FIGURE 2

Organization of nirB, nirD, and narB genes on the S. meliloti genome. nirB, nirD, narB, and cysG genes are located on the S. meliloti megaplasmid pSymB as indicated at the top of the figure. The putative intergenic regions which are tested by PCR in the bottom part of the Figure are called (a) and (b). Total RNA isolated from cells grown in aerobic conditions in VMM without NH4Cl in the presence of nitrate served as template for cDNA synthesis in the presence (cDNA) or in absence of reverse transcriptase enzyme (control, C). Genomic DNA was used as a positive control for PCR amplifications. The first lane (–) is a negative control without DNA.
