Figure 2From: Carbohydrate catabolic flexibility in the mammalian intestinal commensal Lactobacillus ruminis revealed by fermentation studies aligned to genome annotationsPutative operons for the predicted utilisation of carbohydrates in L. ruminis ATCC 25644. Predicted substrates are A, FOS; B, Sucrose; C, Cellobiose; D, raffinose; E, lactose/galactose; F, lactose/galactose operon. Light grey arrows with thick black border, glycosyl hydrolase family enzyme; Black arrows, major facilitator superfamily transporters; Medium grey arrows, transcriptional regulators; Dark grey arrows with thick grey border, phosphotransferase system transporters; Lollipops, rho-dependent transcriptional terminators; White arrows with dashed surround, transposases; white arrows with dotted surround, hypothetical proteins; White arrows with black continuous surround, potentially co-transcribed enzymes. Operons B, C and D were also annotated in the ATCC 27782 genome (see Additional File 27: Figure 1).Back to article page
