Summary:1 School of Microbiological, Immunological and Virological Sciences, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Framlington Place, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK 2 Department of Biochemistry & Genetics, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Framlington Place, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK 3 Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitaet Frankfurt, Institut für Mikrobiologie, Marie-Curie-Str., 9 Geb. N250, 60439 Frankfurt am Main, Germany ABSTRACT Summary: The region between yvsA (293°) and yvqA (289°) of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome has been sequenced within the framework of the B. subtilis 168 international sequencing programme. A primary analysis of the 42 ORFs identified in this 43 kb region is presented. The region included a high proportion of genes that did not show homology with genes in other bacteria. The identified ORFs showed homology to proteins involved in the transport of metal ions, two-component signal transducers, ATP-binding-cassette-type transporters and a sigma factor. * Author for correspondence: Colin Harwood.
