Organization of Bams30 locus in: (B.ant. Ames), B. anthracis strain Ames; (Bc ATCC 14579), B. cereus 14579; (Bc G9241), B. cereus G9241 and B. thuringiensis 97/027. The position of Bams30 primers is indicated by small black arrows; the primers localized in the NH2 terminus conserved part of the ExsH gene are indicated by small gray arrows. Tandem repeats with similarity to Bams30 are represented with striped boxes. Homologous genes are depicted using the same code.
