Capsule polysaccharide synthesis locus variations. Genetic map comparing the three capsule polysaccharide synthesis (CpCap) loci in pathogenic strains of C. perfringens. Representative regions from EHE-NE18 (mannose), TAM-NE46 (rhamnose) and EHE-NE7 (glucosamine) and the CpCPSL-B variants. a. Cds regions are colored as follows: Dark Blue – regulation, light blue – glycosyltransferase, red - UDP-mannose, orange – dTDP-rhamnose, Brown – UDP-L-fucose, Green – UDP-glucosamine/UDP-galactose, Dark pink – polysaccharide polymerase, yellow- polysaccharide transporter/flippase, Black – acetyltransferase, grey – hypothetical/unknown, Light Pink – mobile genetic elements and light green UDP-glycerol. b. As above but also Light Pink – phosphocholine
