“…2a). The flhA gene, which encodes a membrane protein that is part of the flagellar export apparatus Minamino & Macnab, 1999), is located upstream of flhF in B. cereus, as well as in many other bacteria (Carpenter et al, 1992;Dasgupta et al, 2000;Kim & McCarter, 2000;Kusumoto et al, 2006;Pandza et al, 2000). In contrast, only in B. cereus, the gene downstream of flhF is flgG, which encodes the flagellar basal body rod protein in many micro-organisms (Minamino & Macnab, 1999;Zuberi et al, 1991).…”
