a
The sequence of the noncoding RNA strand is shown. The numbers correspond to the Escherichia coli numbering scheme. Unless noted in the table, all intervening sequences between no. 45 and 207 for all isolates were identical.
b
Insertion sequence designated I1–I12.
c
—, no comparable sequence for this region.
