FIGURE 5.
Organization of the urea acquisition and catabolism genes in Nostoc PCC 7120. The genes are shown as colored boxes pointing in the direction of their transcription. Gray boxes correspond to genes not known to be involved in urea metabolism or transport. Each blue box corresponds to a genomic region. aad, acetoacetate decarboxylase; aldH, aldehyde dehydrogenase; apep, aminopeptidase; ho, hypothetical protein; cheY, chemotaxis protein CheY; tn, tranposase; srp, signal recognition particle; trx, thioredoxin.
