In vitro recombination in the TPS islands. (A) Organization of the TPS islands in strain B16B6 and its mutant derivative B16B6ΔtpsC 2-5 where a kan cassette replaces several tpsC cassettes and IORFs. (B) Organization of the TPS island in recombinant strain α14-tpsA* (middle) obtained after transformation of strain α14 (top) with chromosomal DNA from strain B16B6ΔtpsC 2-5 (bottom). (C) Organization of the TPS island in recombinant strain α153-tpsA* (middle) obtained after transformation of strain α153 (top) with chromosomal DNA from strain α14-tpsA*#1 (bottom). The organization of the TPS island of strain α153 is not completely depicted because it is not located on a single contig in the available genome sequence.
