Schematic diagram of the G. stearothermophilus T-6 hemicellulose utilization locus. Each arrow represents a gene in the locus, with genes encoding predicted transposons colored in black, while open reading frames interrupted by transposons are colored in red. Genes encoding glycosyl hydrolases are colored in blue. The G. stearothermophilus HUS locus was subdivided into thirteen gene clusters on the basis of their predicted function.
