Diversity of tar genes for wall teichoic acid biosynthesis. Genome organization surrounding the ribitol-type teichoic acid biosynthesis genes tarIJKL in L. plantarum strains. The percentage nucleotide sequence identity is shown between reference strain WCFS1 and the other 5 strains (which themselves are nearly identical). CGH indicates whether these genes were identified by CGH in strains NC8 and ATCC14917; red boxes signify genes that were not identified by CGH. tarI: D-ribitol-5-phosphate cytidylyltransferase; tarJ: ribitol-5-phosphate 2-dehydrogenase; tarK: ribitol-phosphotransferase; tarL: ribitol-phosphotransferase.
