Figure 1From: Comparison of four phaC genes from Haloferax mediterranei and their function in different PHBV copolymer biosyntheses in Haloarcula hispanicaSchematic overview of the four phaC genes with their adjacent genes in Hfx. mediterranei. A: PhaECHme encoded by pHM300; B: PhaC1 encoded by the chromosome; C: PhaC2 encoded by pHM500; D: PhaC3 encoded by pHM500. The genes are shown as arrows. The numeric scale above the genes gives the length of the DNA (bp). The PHA synthase-encoding genes are shown in black. CHP: conserved hypothetical protein; DBP: DNA binding protein; PPS: phosphoenolpyruvate synthase; RR: Response regulator; USP: universal stress protein.Back to article page
