Schematic representation of the tad locus involved in pilus biosynthesis of B. lactis A6 compared with B. breve UCC2003. Each arrow represents an open reading frame (ORF), and the size of which is proportional to the length of the arrow. Gene name or gene number is right above or below the arrow. Coloring of the arrows represents the different function of the gene as indicated above each arrow. For B. lactis A6, gene numbers in red or black indicate transcriptionally up-regulated or unchanged genes during the stationary phase compared to the log phase. The amino acid identity of the relevant encoded proteins is indicated in percentages. The predicted transcription terminator with a hairpin structure is indicated by the stem loop.
