Figure 1

Schematic representation of the ciaH-rpsT locus of S. thermophilus. LMD-9 and DGCC7710 are PrtS+ strains. LMG18311, DGCC7666 and DGCC7891 are PrtS- strains. Genes encoding proteins are represented by thick arrows; insertion sequences (striped), genes conserved between strains (grey). The following elements are indicated: name of the insertion sequences (underlined), region amplified by PCR to transfer the prtS locus from DGCC7710 to LMG18311, DGCC7891 and DGCC7666 (thick grey line), primers used to amplify the prtS regions and to validate the identity of PrtS+ and PrtS- strains (thin black arrows).
