Status of the genes involved in flagella assembly in O. anthropi, B. microti and 8 Brucella (+ gene present, 0 gene absent). The genes are grouped in two loci in O. anthropi. The first locus is interrupted by a 15 kb insertion in Brucella. a) A gene annotated as fli G is present in the genome sequence of B. melitensis 16M. However, the predicted protein is shorter than it should be and is probably a pseudogene (see Table 1). In Brucella, Locus 1 is interrupted by a 15 kbp insert, between fli I and flg B.
