Fig. 4From: Complete genome sequence of Thermus brockianus GE-1 reveals key enzymes of xylan/xylose metabolismGenomic organization of genes encoding proteins for xylan and cellulose degradation as well as xylose metabolism located on the megaplasmid pTB1 of T. brockianus GE-1. Sizes, localization and orientation of the genes on megaplasmid pTB1 section are displayed proportionally. All genes highlighted with a star are not detectable in any other Thermus spp. genome except T. brockianus GE-1. Genes marked with a diamond are conserved in Thermus spp. ABC transporter system associated genes include sugar ABC transporter substrate-binding protein and two sugar ABC transporter permeasesBack to article page
