Figure 4.

Gene cluster associated with the synthesis of Lichenicidin identified in the genome of B. licheniformis CG1. The color of the arrows indicate the nomenclature for genes encoding for: hypothetical precursor peptides (green arrows), posttranslational modification enzymes (blue arrows), transport/processing proteins (red arrows), immunity proteins (orange arrows) and hypothetical proteins (grey arrows). The hypothetical RiPPs are indicated next to each cluster, on the right-hand side, along with their corresponding identity alignment scores when compared to similar RiPPs (in brackets). In the Table: ^a percentage of similarity (indicated in brackets) with described lichenicidin; ^b Similarity with proteins reported previously; ^c cysteines involved in the lanthionine biosynthesis (indicated in red).
