Comparison of LCR plasmid maps of pYVe8081, pYVe227, and
pCD1. Only representative genes are shown, to facilitate orientation.
The maps of pYVe227 (21) and pCD1 (39) are
redrawn. Arrows outside the circles indicate the direction of
transcription. YadA′ indicates the yadA pseudogene in
pCD1, and Tn2502 is the arsenic resistance transposon in
pYVe227. Regions in pCD1 involved in the inversions referred to in the
text are shown in gray and numbered. The dots represent GTATT direct
repeats in pYVe8081, pYVe227, and pCD1.
