Genetic organization of the pol-clusters from different acetic acid bacteria. The pol-clusters in combination with the gum-like cluster, responsible for the acetan synthesis, of Ko. xylinus E25 is depicted in (a). The so called acetan cluster has an overall size of ~26 kb and involves 22 genes, including glycosyltransferases (gt), mannose-phosphate-guanyltransferase (mpg), rhamnosyl transferase (aceR), hypothetical proteins (hp), and eight gum like genes marked as brackets under the particular genes (gumB, −C, −D, −E, −F, −H, −K, and –M). Furthermore, the cluster is flanked with the polAB gene upstream and the polCD gene downstream of the cluster. The nomenclature for the acetan cluster is based on AM Griffin, Morris, V. J., Gasson, M. J. [33]. In (b) is the pol-cluster of Ga. diazotrophicus Pal5, which consists of the polABCD genes. c and (d) show the related pol-clusters of K. baliensis NBRC 16680 [20] and A. tropicalis SKU1100 [35], including the polABCDE genes
