Genetic organization of the nfs genes. Schematic of the orientation and relative size of the nfs genes (white arrows) characterized in this study. Gray arrows depict the flanking genes. Intergenic regions are depicted by a line and the associated number of base pairs (bp) are indicated below the respective regions. Gene locus (Mxan_) ids are indicated above or within the respective genes and common names are depicted in italics below. Start codons for nfsD and nfsF were amended from the published sequence as indicated in the text. Straight lines above the genes represent regions amplified by RT-PCR during operon mapping in Figure 5).
