Figure 6.

Comparison of the lantibiotic synthesis loci of CGSP14 and other genomes. Genes are represented by boxes coloured according to the gene key, with gene designations above or below each box. The genes encoded in this locus in the genomes of CGSP14, SPnINV200 and S. thermophilus are highly homologous, but they have no sequence similarity to those in the genome of SPN23F. Purple bands correspond to genes that have similar function in the lantibiotic synthesis in each genome.
