title: Sequence and analysis of a 31 kb segment of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome in the area of the rrnH and rrnG operons.
abstract: A 31141 bp continuous nucleotide sequence in the region from trnl to pNEXT52 in the Bacillus subtilis 168 genome was determined. In the region, there were 22 ORFs, two complete rRNA operons, and five tRNA genes. It was deduced that the function of one of the ORFs was similar to that of a sigma factor belonging to the ECF (extra-cytoplasmic functions) subfamily. The gene cluster feuA, B, C reported previously for other strains of B. subtilis was also found in strain 168 and located in this region.
