Schematic representation of the gene clusters involved in maltodextrin and maltose utilization of <i>E. faecium</i> E1162.

<p>Genes are represented by arrows (drawn to scale). Genes putatively encoding proteins involved in maltodextrin transport and/or metabolism are indicated in blue or in red. Genes predicted to be involved in the uptake and/or metabolism of maltose are indicated in green or in purple. The genes that encode putative transcriptional regulators are indicated in red or purple. The grey arrows represent the adjacent genes that are not predicted to be involved in maltodextrin or maltose utilization. Gene names, without the EfmE1162-prefix (omitted for reasons of space), are indicated in the arrows and the gene locus tags are indicated above or below the arrows. The homologs in <i>L. monocytogenes</i> EGD-e or in <i>E. faecalis</i> V583 are shown with corresponding colors above or below the gene clusters of <i>E. faecium</i>. The gene locus tags of the homologs are indicated in the arrows. Lines link the homologous genes with corresponding genes in <i>E. faecium</i> and amino acid identities are indicated.
