Genomic features of GABA biosynthetic genes in S. thermophilus. A Comparison of the genomic region harboring the gadB and gadC genes coding for GABA production in 21 S. thermophilus strains and S. salivarius strain JIM8777. The relative lengths of genes (pentagons) and intergenic regions are drawn to scale. *, strain not belonging to the species STH. The gadBC containing strains 1F8CT, TH985 and TH1477 were excluded from this comparative analysis due to the location of gadBC on too short contigs. B Nucleotide sequences alignment of the gadB promoter region of 23 S. thermophilus strains. The deduced − 35 and extended − 10 sequences are grey-boxed and variable nucleotides are in red
