Location of transposon (Tn10) insertions in the mtn region. One insertion was localized 73 bp upstream of the translational start point of the mtnK gene [6], four were located into mtnW and six into the mtnY gene. The insertion situated 353 bp downstream of the mtnW translation start point (strain BSHP7064) and one situated 556 bp downstream of the mtnY translation start point (strain BSHP7065) are shown in the figure.
