Comparison of the mycobactin cluster between members of the MAC complex and M. tuberculosis. Amino acid length is indicated above each gene, gene names are indicated and colour matched to equivalent genes in other strains (M. paratuberculosis 43525, M. paratuberculosis K10, M. paratuberculosis S397 M. avium 104, M. avium ATCC25291 and M. tuberculosis). M. paratuberculosis K10, M. paratuberculosis S397 and M. avium ATCC25291 are of animal origin, the remaining three are from human hosts. The NRPS modules MbtB and MbtE are one gene in M. paratuberculosis 43525 and M. tuberculosis but two genes in other MAC. In addition, all M. paratuberculosis strains had an mce operon (mce6) present in the gap between MbtA and MbtJ (indicated for M. paratuberculosis 43525 and K10)
