FIG. 4.

Abundance of STAR element sequences in S. aureus. Chromosomal DNA from 12 S. aureus strains was digested with restriction enzyme HindIII and hybridized with a labeled probe corresponding to the sequence between the uvrA and hprK primers listed in Fig. 1A in strain 601055. Lanes 1 to 12 correspond, respectively, to the strains listed in Fig. 1B. Size marker (M), lambda/HindIII DNA.
