ABSTRACT

Summary: The region between yvsA (293°) and yvqA (289°) of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome has been sequenced within the framework of the B. subtilis 168 international sequencing programme. A primary analysis of the 42 ORFs identified in this 43 kb region is presented. The region included a high proportion of genes that did not show homology with genes in other bacteria. The identified ORFs showed homology to proteins involved in the transport of metal ions, two-component signal transducers, ATP-binding-cassette-type transporters and a sigma factor.
